The York busker again. (I warn you, you’re in for a long haul with these.) This chap came tearing round the corner, spotted the pianist and did a double-take.
A number of people expressed preference for colour over the last couple of days - you have the choice here, but for me black & white concentrates attention on the things that matter and reduces the distractions of shop windows etc.
If you have time, please view Large.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

moira you are becoming if you not already (you know what i mean) very accomplished at spotting these. i am with you on the bnw finish its more timeless & avoids loosing the subject to background distractions. bet he has a problem carrying that home every night!

Excellent image Moira, very slight preference for V2,
Fred.
This is wonderful Moira.
Love the facial expression of the passer by.
I prefer the colour version, not for the shop window, but for those wonderful aubergine coloured trousers of the passer by & the blue of the caster wheels on the piano.
Also, you can see all the wonderful detail of that really old piano, especially the lid.
Amazing.
Hilary
Certainly slowed this guy in his tracks.
All the very best
Dougie
Your great timing tells the story beautifully, a lovely candid,
Chris.
why is it that mono works so well with shots like these. As always a lesson for everyone in street photography. Well done Moira

Thanks everybody, I'm very interested in the feedback. I've added a crop as suggested by Albert, can't quite make up my mind about it. It's more focused but also more claustrophobic to me.
Moira
I do like the respectable looking chap on the right and his stance. I wonder what venerable organ he is carrying under his arm...
Lucy
Nice image Moira, well captured he is making sure you don't miss his buckets.
Dougie.
Moira, You are clearly on a roll here with these. They are really very good indeed. Definitely No.1 on this one by a long way.
The timing with the double take chap is both brilliant and comical.
Cheers, Ken.
He looks like he's doing a little jig!
Super capture.

Love the timing and the glance; also the piano busking idea. He'd get my money for effort alone.
Prefer the B&W but I might have cropped below the shop alarm to cut out the light patch, but keep the corner plus bikes and concentrate more on the figure's movement.

I like the expression of the bearded man and his leg movement. Quite funny. JNC
, really well captured, love his twist to his body as if he wasn't gonna stop but just had to....
This time it's the colour version I like most Moira. Nice shot this.
John
Super again Moira, but I still prefer the colour, for me it enlivens the image.
Mike
Another superb set of images Moira, I have enjoyed looking at your last few offerings and I must say, they are all excellent, especially the mono versions.
Andy
Love the double-take the passer by is giving, nicely captkured.
