Found Stepheno's busker in a recent visit to York

I like #2, #1 is a little washed out for me, but 2 is a keeper! Great colours, and expression on his face!

Yes, I agree. I was struggling to get the detail in his coat, and the price was the blown whites. I like it because of the woman in the background. Pity I had not bought my 70-200 at this time, she would have made a picture too.

The colour and tones of No 2 in the first picture would be really good. The lady makes all the difference there so a well-exposed shot would be great. As a general rule I always expose for the highlights and lift the shadows later, you can get stuff out of shadows but you can't put detail back in blown highlights. Once it's gone, it's gone!

Cheers,
Rob
