The timing is excellent and light grass and dark trees brings good contrast to the photo in my opinion.

Well seen and perfect timing!
In my opinion the image is less effective for the disturbing double frame

I like the moment and the tming is first rate. The POW and the frame in its entirety contains more than one distraction in my opinion (the sky, the exposure levels of the actual subject)
Neverthless I consider it to be more than decent

This photo is brilliant in its vision, impact and timing. The printed circle on the t-shirt looks like an additional ball in the hands of the man, and also the bike has an additional wheel.
The image is clearly a film one and scanned so I really don't mind the loss in sharpness and the noise. I'd refine the edge of the photo, uploaded in dA now it has an asymmetric and disturbing double 'frame'.
Very well done!

I don't mind about the scanner, the printed one is surely better. Unfortunately my scanner is a shit.
I'm very glad you appreciated it; I just want to point out that this is a single shot, like the other 35 in that film. I'm sure that this is what give character to a street shot, and it's something that will improve your shooting ability; It would have been quite easy to shot it with a digital camera and a nef format.
p.s. sorry for my english

Here is a Yard Playground comment.
First, your shot has been among my favorites!
I feel it was shot at the decisive instant, since you need to look twice to notice that one of the balls is actually the printing on his shirt. Bicycles to the right add to the context and the wheels fit in quite nicely. The contrast between the bright foreground and dark trees at the top work very well.
Two aspects could be improved upon: a higher contrast between the juggler and the wall would make him more visible, and maybe add a bit more definition to the structure of the wall... and I prefer a clean clipping even with film, unless you mean to show that you posted the full frame.

Thank you Batman!
I'm happy to read that you appreciated exactly what I wanted to show in this pic!
The sharpness loss is due to the low quality of my scanner

Shame about the scanner... but you surely could do some adjustments in a photo editing software.

I'm expert with photoshop, but I just don't want to do any correction. I'm gonna buy a new scanner (maybe for film)

I remember tweaking in the darkroom with filters and such to make shot better when I was enlarging the negatives... wouldn't you agree that Photoshop could be seen as the darkroom?

Maybe Lightroom.. for me any corrections should be minimal.

It just needs minimal corrections to become even better... things that you would normally do in a dark room anyway.
