Street Scene

I admire street performers.  They lay it on the line.  No retakes, no Photoshop adjustments, nothing but what they have at that moment.  They just go out there and perform.  That takes courage.
I sat and listened to this folk singer for some time before I took any photos of him.  Why?  Because I was not really sure what I wanted the photo to represent.  Finally, I decided to try and show his passion while he was singing.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D3, Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 ISO 200, f/5.6 and 1/350th of a sescond.
