Nice image Ron.  If you don't mind me saying, I wish the guitarist wasn't clipped, and a stop wider to melt the background people away a bit more would have been nice imo.

Your comment about the background caused me to go back to the original crop and Ps the man on the right a bit.  I used a 24-120 f/4 @ 120mm and f/4 so there was no additional stop available, so to speak.  Even so, I doubt one stop would have been enough because people in the background were just too close to the subject.  This is a problem with many street performers.  It is nice to have nobody in the background, second best is a wall of people.  As for the guitarist's arm, more would be an improvement, although I don't find it troubling as the real subject has enough pop from everything else.
