Submitter's name:	Donald MacDonald
Title:	Busking
Gear Used:	OM-4 (new circuit), Zuiko 24mm f.2.8
Exposure details:	not recorded
Film Used:	Fuji Provia F100
Technical Information:	Took this wide view for cropping to panoramic. Scanned 2700/24 bit/Fast on Acer ScanWit 2720S, cropped, spotted, resized and unsharped.
Subject Information:	Very attractive couple, and very good dancers. Drew an appreciative crowd and deserved all the attention. The lovey-dovey couple on extreme right were teasing each other about something, maybe he couldn't dance! One couple, in the centre, were studying the moves very carefully, but maybe the guy was just looking at the girl dancer's legs...

Las Ramblas are certainly a good location for getting "city people" shots. In this case I would have liked to see the dancing pair a bit more up-close. Still, the image is a good representation of what that area looks like on a quiet day.

Interesting "street" action, well captured.

Very nice caught in the action. Good use of the 24 (very nice lens BTW).

I like the subject and the composition is excellent, but I should have liked a closer crop.

Nice choice of focal length. I probably would have shot with a telephoto and lost the atmosphere of the location.

Good timing and composition here. I might have gone a bit closer with the 24 though.

interesting line of people, including the girl on the right. With a closer crop the left hat would probably been lost - difficult decision! cheers :D

I like the composition, which sets the dancers on their "stage". Without the expanse in ther foreground, it might have been hard to work out what was going on (and who was doing what to whom!)
