The woman in the foreground might appear as a dead weight, but her self-conscious nervousness is a great contrast with the fiddler's enthusiasm.
She is so obviously pretending you don't exist!

Thank you very much for this analysis!
Although street shoots also need skillfully composing, one need to have luck, and at the end everything is matter of choice of a particular image among a number of less successful.

Thank you kindly for this comment!
People often think that I photographed them from malicious reasons. Most people's conscience is unclean, at least a little bit. So it was with this man. Sometimes I am sad because of that.

Indeed it is sad... I guess sometimes I am afraid to take shots cos' I don't want people to look at me all judgemental.. >.<

I understand you completely. Everywhere is the same, except maybe in Finland.

Thank you! I am glad that you love it.
I don't know how to answer to this.
It is possible that people are fed up with movies and TV series like CSI, where everything is in close-up.
Close-up scenes are effective, but they often do not offer the possibility of insight into the context.
I always have to push myself not get too close, because that way I ignore the composition.

amazing image, you are pretty close, and the wide angle makes it an amazing street shot.

Thank you very much!
Yes, pretty close. I've learned that people feel a few belts around them: public zone, social zone (little closer), private zone (more close) and (closest) intimate zone. Depending on their mood, they will let you into one of these zones.

I like the natural pose of the persons in that beautiful perspective

I do not. On the contrary, I love it.
But, that is a subject for longer debate.

Nothing special my friend. Although I retain strong and hardened opinions, I don't have illusions about results.
On the other hand, I enjoy in your work, and there is often a question: how.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
don't be too modest, you have many strong shots in your gallery, which is exactly why i watch you.
i have a love/hate relationship with my work. a question? i will answer most any questions concerning my work.

First of all, compositions, but I think it is too loose (broad) question to answer easily.
Second, black-white relations: I like your excellent tones. That is something I do not manage to achieve. I don't know how you do it, but results are very good. It is a strange combination of strong contrast and high dynamic range of tones.
Third, material structure (like on film photos): you can compare faces of people on your photos (so smooth, but sharp enough), and those on my photos (flushed, or ragged, or... I can not find write words)

you flatter me, yet to try and answer your questions... i think the biggest thing i had to overcome, at least with respect to street, was my compulsion for hip shots, although i still do rely on them when forced. as soon as i slowed down and gave myself enough time to notice what was there, and took the extra time to consider and balance the elements, my compositional skills improved dramatically. although i still struggle to find things interesting enough to photograph. to paraphrase Cartier-Bresson, "geometry, everything in the right place."
tones? the tonal range of the environment itself will dictate this, of course. when in doubt, expose for the midtones. i do employ filters from time to time, red being a particular favourite, to increase contrast. the fact that i have a nice lens should also help here. a good white balance doesn't go astray either.
i usually screw up facial detail when DOF is wrong, or shutter speed is too slow to freeze any movement, or i simply screw up the focus. again, the fact that i have a nice lens should surely be helping me.
i'm not sure if any of that is of help. again, i am generally happy to share information rather than to attempt to hoard it.

These are the general facts. But for me it is important to hear (read) them countless times, over and over again. I even like to hear (read) problems that plague those who know less than me, because knowledge and skills are not something solid.
From experience I know that photography skills are difficult to transmit and that practice is the best way of knowing.

there is no substitute for knowledge and experience, with experience being the greatest teacher of all.

Excellent.
I was watching a programme about plastic surgery today and my mum commented on the fact that little physical idiosyncrasies are what make us unique and beautiful.
This fella here is a shining example of this.

Thank you friend!
That is absolutely true, I believe. Differences in general are also the way we understand.
This photo is from Budapest. I believe that this man is Gypsy.
My common fun is to, based on physiognomy, try to discover the origin of different nationalities of people backing them up in the early history. Here, where I live now (south Pannonia) dominant population are Slavs, but one could find the traces of non-Slavic peoples from the period of the Great Migration in the Early Middle Age, whose origin is Central Asia.

Very interesting stuff.
Do you think that you would be able to tell with that guy was from if you didn't see him in his native environment?

For this one specific I think I would, although he is not pureblooded.
