He does look incongruous, like he's just got out of his campervan to do a bit of busking in the car park. Goes to show how important background is when telling a story. He's a great character though and you've got a good pose. There are a lot of things you can do to remedy the drawbacks for next time, ask the subject to move, use shallower depth of field etc. However I draw the line at using PP to blur the background etc, it's a candid and it is what it is. I'm sure other people will disagree with me.

DigiDiva have you posted your computer issues in another thread, you may get more support there?

The silver band across the background is a bit distracting but I know you can't always choose your background and have to make do with what's in front of you at the time. And it would be nice to see a bit more detail in his face. Only minor points and overall a good shot with atmosphere. Well done.

I had to read this post twice. The first time I looked back at the picture expecting to see a bunch of guys with trumpets, trombones etc and then I realised what you meant.
