A very nice set of shots you have there seamus, even though I am definitely not a fan of street miming live statue artists or whatever they are called, but I really like the expressions you have captured in these images and especially the one with the lady trying to take away his bottle, you have really captured them well and I have to agree with Russ "Fascinating".
I was in Amsterdam a couple of years back and we walked past a large crowd of people, who were falling about belly laughing at this bloke with a blue head (he must have seen the intel advert), who was just stood there with a completely blue head, no funny expressions, no doing anything amusing in any way at all and the crowd were wetting themselves.
