Interesting that I'm usually quite color-centric, yet several monotone submissions really captured my attention. Maybe something to learn here!

Really difficult to thin it down to the few permitted -- I regret not giving recognition to a number of submissions here. The following Honorable Mentions consistently rose to the top as I was comparing, considering, and analyzing (in no particular order):

Walter's Silver Man was my favorite image of a street performer.


Yaron did a good job of capturing the mood with this drummer in action.


Ken has done an impressive job of capturing a good, clear shot of this performing trio.


Peter's perspective and treatment of this live performance image intrigues me.


Robin has captured this moment during what promises to be a lively and entertaining performance.


Third place:
I really enjoy Marcel's classic portrait of the quintessential New Orleans jazz artist.


Second place:
A hearty nod to Walter's capture of this colorful and delightful dancer fully engaged in her performance.


First place:
With this image, Enrico has done a great job technically of capturing and presenting this scene, and also effectively draws the viewer into the raw emotion of the performance.


Nicely done, Enrico!

Thanks for the HM. Congratulations to the winners.
Some good performing moments captured in this contest.

Congratulations to Enrico and other winners/HMs. Glad I didn't have to choose from the many great entries !!

Thank you very much for the first spot.
I enjoyed the contest as it was full of really excellent images.

Now I have to figure out a new topic...

Great topic choice Jeff! Thanks for Second Place and the HM. Congratulations to all who submitted images.
Regards, Walter

Very interesting topic with great entries. Congratulations to Enrico and all the other winners & participants.
It is a pleasure to seen all the different styles of performances and ways to capture them. And it is nice to see that some PBase members still are interest on the competition.
Great work Jeff..... well done.
