Ok, after this one I'm going to stop. God, this is so good. The color, the focus - both just terrific. The angle makes the light source really come through. His expression in that split second is so intense. Love his eyes. Great job all around.

Wow...did you PS the color of those eyes? Great capture...love the motion blur and focus in the same shot.

WOW... fabulous shot! Shame about the burnt out highlights, as this is one of the most effective musician portraits I've ever seen.

A very interesting centered subject. There is a lot to look at here. The eyes are excellent. Very green. I like the blurred stick. However, I'm not sure if I'd have figured it out without the title. Great focus and clarity. Lighting is a slight bit harsh on the left side (our right) of his face, but otherwise, I think the lighting is perfect for the mood of the photo. ~Heather~

What intensity! Great lighting, nice subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very interesting subject matter; I like the dramatic/action capture here with the theatrical lighting. The intensity of the light coming from the left of the performer, though, too great (creating a large blown out area on the face and a gaping shadow from the nose) work well here to provide the performer with a "possesed" look. Well done.

Wow!! Great focus on the eyes, absolutely outstanding. I also love the motion and the intensity you were able to capture.

Very cool. How did you do the lighting? I'm getting ready to shoot a band.

Excellent! This should do very well.

Theres a lot going on in this picture, moving drumstick and necklace seem to draw me away from your intended target. Nice expression, nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Not sure if this will score well with most people, but I really think it is a striking, well focused, colorful photo that really grabs you. The eyes being the "center" works for me. I also like the contrast of dark behind him, light in front.

Great challenge interpretation and good use of the advanced editing possibilities. Perhaps a bit overexposed right side of the face? I think I would have gone at it to leave more focus on the eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/17/2004 09:11:21 AM
This is a truly great shot. That bit of overexposure on his cheek is the only thing I would want to change. Otherwise, I think this picture flawless and looks amazing. Great job!
