Cool shot Larry! I like your composition and post-processing. To me the intensity of the juggler's expression makes the shot but I also find a lot of interest in the out of focus background.
What an interesting image. The colors, the fire, the juggler's face all capture my attention but the silhouetted people in the background finish it all off. Street photography at its best --- great job.
If I didn't know from your description that this was in Kemah, I might think it was a journalistic photo of a riot in some place like Haiti! The smoke and wavy heat lines obscure and distort the out-of-focus background enough to make it look like there are fires in the background too. To me, this photo has quite a frenetic mood.
That may not be what you were going for, but very well done nevertheless!
Also from Friday night's trip to the Kemah Boardwalk, I shot several frames of this juggler doing his thing and this was my favorite.
