The Street Guitarist
Taken in Exeter, a city in the southwest of the UK with an extensive history extending as far back as the Romans; it was their most south-westerly fortified settlement in England, and a vast majority of the Roman wall still remains.

nice street portrait ...
did you try how it works if you crop some of the foreground away? i think it would work with half of the street ...
Changed the image with the advice given. :)

Well good. I like the black and white. What a cooling looking guy too. I think his name should be Bernand.Sean

Great comments Dirk. & Good advice too.Nice work Josh, & a lovely image. You capture his character extremely well indeed. & the background adds a lot of tones & textures too. Nice work.

it is always a personal matter of taste ... could be that now 10 people drop in who say "no, i don't see an improvement" ...but there is actually only one person who should like the photo: you ... our opinions can only be advice or a second opinion to think about ... :-)
if you once have understood this fact (not only you, but every user of the community) things will be a lot easier ... ;-))
have a good night ...

I have to agree with you Dirk, there is more focus for the eye on the man without the extra foreground, which was distracting.I prefer it this way, thanks for the advice!
