Feel the atmosphere and can almost hear the music.

Well captured scene, Ron.

Real atmosphere and I think the composition is brilliant.

Very nice and lively shot, sharing the feeling of being there... :-)

To me, this one looks much nicer than the one under the same title posted recently.  This image pulls me back to 2005 when I had a great chance to visit the Crescent City.

Thanks, Ron, for the reminder!

Ron, very good image.  This one has everything the girl with the weird red hair did not have.  Well shot/exposed, really good composition , the connection between the two dancers and your connection with the musicians.
Well done an a very enjoyable image.  Moral: Do not get drawn in by Redheads with Tattoos  ;)

Thank you everyone.  My own reaction to this photo is it makes me want to go back to New Orleans.  It's about 5 hours away by car, in reach for a long weekend.  This was shot with a 28mm f/1.8.  Primes seem to force me to do things differently.  Please don't remind me of the ones you didn't like.

Ron at his best, or close to it. Good to see street shots that remind us about the fun of being together.

I have driven the long stretch from Houston to New Orleans but the nice atmosphere in the "voodoo" area it is worth the drive.

Great shot.  I can actually feel as though I am there.  Nothing better than that.

Thank you Airy, Sten and Rick.  Sten, I don't find the drive to be that long and there are some interesting stops along the way with good places to eat.  Here you can drive forever and not wind up in another country.
