Very impressive shot, you can almost hear him play.

I like this; these are the kinds of dreary days we've been having around here lately, but you capture the street scene well. Maybe re-crop to exclude the poster on the right? Just a thought...

Lovely capture of what seems to be a man alone with his music. The graffiti on the windows, the wet ground and small area he occupies in the frame...make this a wonderful urban portrait.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Paulski: I had thought about cropping out the posters on the right but decided against it. At the moment Timberlake and Riverdance are pretty well known, but I think given time they'll give more of a feel for when the photo was taken and become a chronological reference point rather than mere advertising.

I like the posters at the right of the frame. They add contrast between the fame of the known performers and the unknown sax player, thus strengthening the tension or loneliness in the image.

why did you change this to black and white? it's lost a lot of the mood, loneliness, especially with this tonal range and contrast.
