This is another one from the Edinburgh Festival, and another shot of this guy can be seen here

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

The quality of this BW image is excellent, puppets are not my scene, but this shot seems to have the attention.

@Observing: Thanks Mike, he wasn't actually a puppeteer, but it looks that way from the shot

A fabulous image Dave, the dof is superb!

Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United States

Well-composed picture. I like the perspective. From the thumbnail I thought this was a conductor and a choir. Now that I see what is going on, I still think I wasn't far off. :-)
