What could be more apt than a street entertainer in York city centre. Someone who makes a living from his hands and a boy, who seems to have none.
How he managed to perform with the temperature the way it was. It was bitter.

366 and All That 
Lucky you were Handy with your camera.
Wonderful capture . . . the missing hands of the young observer to the talented hands of the performer . . . love the way this image tells a story.
As John & Lois say, great image that tells a story. Well done.
Great example of a street performer, I like his colorful boundary and how you chose to include it in your framing.
You made me laugh at the boy w/ no hands comment…I love how intently he seems to be watching the entertainer!
Very good spot…clever interpretation of the theme….great capture
Intense concentration on the parts of both performer and observer.
Looks as if he’s showing the ‘handless’ kid what just 1 of the advantages are of possessing them
A great capture!
I’d seen this guy on a previous visit to York. It was summer then and quite crowded. There was only the boy watching this time, so took the opportunity when I saw it.
Thanks
Mike.
Nice example of street photography! You captured a great moment of concentration!
Fun – hands or no hands 😉
no matter what weather I could never do anything like that
Love the hands “story” you’ve captured.
Great look at a street performer and his audience.
fabulous image for the theme – and a great shot anyway love that the hands of the performer are the focus – and then you realise that the boy’s are tucked inside his sleeves – love it
