This is what New Orleans is all about, music. I love each individual musician in view, take it all in starting with the star of the show, the saxophonist and work your way along. Its the corner of a street and its alive. You can feel the vibe. I also like the people to the side adding to the joy I like the cropping which is nice and tight. Conversion to black and white is spot on and If you're in any doubt where you are the sign actually tells you.

Such an old fashioned feel, beautifully captured. If it had been at all possible i would have liked more on the right hand side to give it balance. Maybe the dog is looking back at its owner, coming into shot would have helped. Never the less a wonderful shot

What hits me with this shot is the coolness it gives off, the families relaxing in the heat of the evening after a long hot day, sitting talking, children up past their bedtime enjoying time with their parents. I love the silhouettes and the shadows created by the solitary light. A lovely family feel to this capture. the composition is spot on making it such as an excellent photograph.

The conversion to black and white is so in keeping with the style of photo and the low point of view creates and urgency to the shot. The busy corner cafe with people eating, queuing and engaged in general 'chit chat' are oblivious to the solitary man around the corner begging? most likely, the searching eyes tells a story. I love this shot i can accept the pole that tends to split the shot at the 'wrong' place as it extends the distance away from the good life. I feel the photographer has hit the brief exactly. congratulations, on a superb capture

This is a great shot, so full of chatter, maybe a festival or marriage. What i believe it suffers from is being cropped a little too much or too standing too close. I would have really liked to have seen more of the scene. The joy in this capture is so easy to see.

Vibrant, action, movement, colour all in abundance. I can accept and overlook the couple of squiggly light trails because of the overall scene that spreads out before you is fantastic. The angle has created height right on up to the the tops of the buildings and on to blackness. Wonderful composition and fabulous capture
