i found my way down chinatown sunday afternoon and saw this young man trying to entertain the passersby. though it looks like no one's paying mind to him, it is actually just how i had shot this: i waited for that nano-second when i got a clear view of him. in fact, a lot of kids were begging their parents to spare some coins to them so they could put them in his little kitty. the rest of the shots have different kind of people walking in or out of the shots.
i'm not sure if it's a stretch but i do think this fits the bill for the 'accidental renaissance' style for this week's composition: balance category of the 52-week challenge. with the weather getting better, i might be able to do more street shots in the coming week and will have this assignment in mind.
I think the kids who beg for giving money should be photographed too. Here it's just one person in focus, the other people are not so engaged to him, making it the usual rule of third, while accidental renaissance usually consist of more people and showing a lot of different activities / emotion.
Just my thought, could be wrong, of course it doesn't have to be exactly following this.
You do great at capturing the chi ken man's expression.
Cheers :D
@arnica17 - thank you for your feedback. as a rule, i don't photograph children as i would need permission from the parents, and in this city, people are wont to be aggressive about being photographed by strangers. i was not exactly looking for the 'accidental renaissance' but overlaying the Fibonacci spiral in the shot, it just so happened, and I'm just glad to have the challenge out of the way. ah, and he's not the chicken man. his little billboard in front of him that is obscured by the pail indicates he's #duckman and you can follow him on facebook and all such. :-D thanks again.
