Listener Funded Public Music
One of the best things about hanging out in Jackson Square in the French Quarter is listening to the street musicians and they are a talented bunch. They’re also make for fantastic subjects.
To process this image I used Topaz Detail to bring out a bit  more detail in the performers face and beard. I then used Topaz Black & White Effects for the monochrome conversion. Don’t forget you can use coupon code ELPHOTO to save 15% on all Topaz products.
Click on the image to enlarge (the detail is much better) or to Purchase a Print.
Niiiiice! Love the rich details of the topaz processing, everything pop-out!

Wonderful captured… 🙂
New Orleans and maybe most of all the old french part have a very proud tradition of music – and even the long way from Denmark, (country)musicians are traveling on “pilgrimages” to this area for inspiration… 🙂

You’re absolutely right. You can find musicians on almost every street corner and Bourbon Street at night is a veritable dance party.
