Shot these on our recent vacation in Puerto Rico. This my first ever attempt at street photography. What do you guys think.

Well, it's an accordian, not a harmonica but other than that, nice shots. Somewhat evocative, if I may go out on a limb.
i like the composition better in the first one. the vertical format accentuates the tall doorway and window, and you have the accordion player's feet in the frame.
Sorry about the harmonica ..accordion confusion..

Not a problem. I can never remember the difference between a violincello and a viola-di-gamba.. :) Gets me all the time.

I do not like either.The horizontal image cut off the man`s foot and the vertical one has too many distractions.How about tighter vertical crop of the man (both feet included) plus the orange rectangle?
I think you could make the first one a really interesting street shot..get closer..and zone in on the guy..but dont' crop at the feet..please.If you don't mind..just to give you an idea.
weird just saw this same photo on photonet..hope its yours?
I like the last one you redid.

Like the first comp the best. Great colors and subject. I just cropped slightly and tried to get more texture in to the white wall. Also tried one in black & white that I like to use for street scenes. But in Puerto Rico it's hard not to prefer the vivid colors. Thanks for letting me work with your photo, it's good practice for me.
