The Boston subway can be absolute gold on some days. Here's a pic I got of another performer(s)...

As always c/c welcome if desired...

Never really considered the viola a street instrument! Nicely captured.

Actually a cello...

(no they actually haven't gotten my permission to use the picture yet, but it was my intent to give them license to use it anyway... no biggie.)

I would love to see a bit more detail in their faces....I want to see the faces! Maybe a bit of clarity slider? or a slight curves weak? Otherwise a pleasant scene, well-captured. Oh, and he(( yeah, they ripped off your photo--it's a good photo for a two-man band! of course they would "appropriate it"...it's good enough to steal.

As I say, it was my intent anyway and I essentially told them as much. It's just the usual "people who are not photographers really don't understand the significance of what they do when they just 'use an image' thing". No biggie (in this case!)

I agree on the faces. This was TOUGH shot. It's so dark in there. I eventually wound up with high ISO AND a flash AND dragging the shutter. Pretty complex to get all the elements I wanted and I had to make some compromises. I decided that I was overall very happy with the shot, but yes... the #1 thing I wanted was more detail in the faces. I will take a crack at the clarity slider though... that's a great idea. If I get better results, I'll post 'em up here.

Thanks for the comments and the idea.
