it would be a bit scary if there is more than one guy that looks like this :) Nice shot with the kid behind him.

We have began seen this kind of performers here at the First street. Love the gold face and the boy looking at him is just a plus. :)

Great shot Paul - love the intent gaze, and the contrasty colours. DOF is also good

ChrisK on 13th October 2005 @ 8:06am

Excellent shot, would also like to see another version where the focus is on the boy...

Nice shot, these guys freak me out when they move unexpectedly. The worst is when they dress up as statues.

SteveO on 13th October 2005 @ 9:07am

wonderful shot and great color! The composition is very nice! :)

Great composition and DOF. The Golden guy is a captivating subject, his gaze realy pulls you into the shot. The look on the kids face completes it for me though and adds great depth. Nice work!! - [Chuks]

I really like it. A cool shot with a great depth of field!

Great shot. These street performers are brilliant. I particularly like the way you've got that kid in the bachground looking towards you and the performer.

remarkable shot!Frozen in time indeed.

farah on 13th October 2005 @ 2:26pm

I love the expressions of both guys in the photo. Very good use of color as well as the shallow DOF. Overall super shot.

Brilliant shot. The guy in the background makes it even more attractive.

Great how he falls out of his role a little bit by looking at you and being aware of you. Nice depth indeed!

Arjan on 14th October 2005 @ 2:40pm

Lovely shot Paul - the contrast is great which separates reality from life

John [shots] on 15th October 2005 @ 11:18am

Fantastic shot and amazingly perfect DoF Paul, you are one mean photographer!

Carlo on 16th October 2005 @ 12:45am

Outstanding Depth..strong photo.Both expressed the emotions of those 2 subjects.

I'm SURE I recognise this guy. I think he was in Edinburgh during the festival. Does he have a golden bike as well?

Fyse on 16th October 2005 @ 10:33pm

Those guys are so weird, but also so good at what they do. Its certainly an art! I like the constast between the performer and kid in the background.
