This was taken on the south bank of the Thames in London, and out of the hundreds of buskers that I saw that day, these were the only guys that made me stop and take note. Mainly because they didn't quite feel like they were busking, rather just a couple lads who found a park bench and wanted to play a few tunes. It was actually decent music that was coming out, despite using a toy as an instrument.

In regard to the background, it had crossed my mind that I should do something about it, but my last attempt on a different photo with similar exposure problems was a failure:

I did shoot this one in raw, so I might have a go at it tonight and see what comes of it.

One of the great gifts of youth is being able to create music without fear. Nicely captured moment. I'm loving the different colored socks, but I'm having trouble with the background. If you shot this raw, it's a perfect candidate to develop for the background and develop for the foreground and then merge the two. -Michael
