Pretty girl, nice composition but I think the B&W lacks oomph. Alot of grey/gray at the moment. Might want to contrast it a bit more.

low contrast somehow gives off that nostalgia feeling.

Nice capture but the subject doesn't stand out from the background. Hence I would agree that the contrast might need a little more work.

Hmm... personally I wouldn't put anything in there. I think rather than making a candid sign and sitting around waiting for donations, putting his free time into part-time work would yield even more results considering he's not even disabled.

Interesting capture though.

No wor... I don't use that to shoot portraits... it's a little slow for me, but it does bring out a LOT of detail. Only that one shot was using the 60mm. The rest using 28-70mm.

busking is a show/performance/act performed by a person in public for the purpose of collecting money. viewing public pays out of generosity, no amount refused. not compulsory to pay if dont like. it is not to be confused with (beggar) begging.
i saw security guards checking his permit and left him be after that.

Err no ah. Slower focus thats about all, but if you use Limit instead of Full, its not that noticeable. Some say its too sharp for portrait though. Pick up all the details no one wants to see.
