On Beale Street

The young man in my competition photo is a "Beale Street Flipper" and works for tips on the street year-round as part of a crew - his partner that day was about 7 yrs old or so. In action:




I should probably straighten up that building but I'm too lazy.

i like this with the shadow finishing it off nicely. probably you are right it could be levelled off. And cropped a little bit too. So does he just hang out there all day and occasionally do a flip?

I'd leave the building on the tilt, it adds a certain dynamism. I'd clone out the bloke in the background though. The shadow is a great touch. In fact, if you crop very tight to just below the line of the kerb, leaving just the shadow, manhole cover and pattern of hte road it looks very cool indeed, to my eye at least.

Basically yes, but it's runs of flip after flip after backhandspring after......they go for about 50 feet.

Go back and take the exact same shot, but without him there, then merge them
It'll look like a giants falling from the sky

Great shot
