Beautiful soft focus and lovely rich tones. I love the expression of the violinist too.

yes, I like the way the two of them communicate so much expressions with their eyes.

Apart from the tone, softness, and composition of the image, I really like the expressions on the two subjects. The musician is completely at ease and enjoying himself, almost like some cherub. But the woman seems uncomfortable, the awkward expression probably from pretending not to notice that a donation is being solicited. A great snapshot of a day in the life of LA.

I like how he seems to be serenading her and she seems to be ignoring him.

Beautiful and intriguing - captures the momentary decision between busyness and enjoyment of beauty. In choosing between exposing for her face or the whole scene I think you made the right decision.

Definitely one of your best, Nitsa. The tones, the expressions, the overblown highlights. You've really managed to captured a special moment of time here.

She is not distressed. She is a princess. And he is playing for her.
