You've caught a good expression on the musician's face. The crop at the top seems a little bit too tight and the grain is uneven. There seems to be too much grain at the top and none at the bottom. 6

Emotive - what a photo should do, create a feeling in the viewer. I really love the added noise, but do not like the blown out highlights. Excellent model.

Love the gain...give the feeling of a gritty dive gig. One thing though....he's playing bass.

the grain and the blown out highlights add to the concert feel i think you were going for but its not "Masters Challenge" quality in my eyes, sorry 3

I'm convinced there is an unwritten rule that there must be at least one guitar in every challenge. I'm betting you're getting complaints about the amount of noise -- I like it. It adds to the photo

I like the lighting and grain here. It has a very griity, live performance feel to it, so you have captured the mood of the event well. Not sure I like how the musician's head is vut off in the frame, but I generally like tightly cropped shots, so i don't think it is too much of a distraction.

Judging from the subject, I'd assume that this was taken in low light, and the noise is from the low light level. Very difficult shot to get right, since his face is in shadow, but his hand is brightly lit. This exposure is a good compromise between his hand getting totally washed out, and his face fading entirely into the shadows.

BRING THE NOISE! errr....I mean grain. Public Enemy if you didn't catch that. Anyway, good job emphasizing something that most people try to completely eliminate.

I think the grain in this shot really makes it! The lighting is brilliant, really makes it feel like you're at the concert. Maybe a little more light in his face to bring out the right eye area. 8
