This is colorful and I like the smile of the drum player.

My fave of the three pics. The shot has a good balance to it. Nicely composed.

Thanks Penny and Doug. Mary Anne and John, I've finally made the switch to always shooting RAW for much more latitude in managing exposure and dynamic range. This was manually underexposed almost 1 1/2 f-stops from the "P" exposure setting, then adjusted in Camera Raw. -tv

Good capture of expressions, Tommy, esp. the fellow on the left. This looks like a pretty bright overcast day, not like the gray gloom I experienced while I was away. Of course, the camera's auto exposure can overcompensate enough to make the scene appear much brighter than it actually was.

very good to keep the steel drums from stealing the shot ... way to reign in the exposure

The fast that the drummer's sunglasses are not on is proof of overcast skies. So this is how you spend your lunch breaks? Good for you. -Doug

What's up with the guy on the left? I think they (and you) were all having way too good a time during lunchbreak. Penny Street
