how sweet is this! most excellent work, capturing the essence of the moment. i'll bet this was an absolute blast to shoot. thanks for taking us there. and now, as i have nothing further to offer, i'm just going to sit back and enjoy this for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck with this, and in the challenges yet to come!

Like the composition and choice to go B&W. Would have preferred the focus on the legend as when I first looked at this image I was drawn to the microphone.

Great subject and lighting - the focus could be a little crisper - and Im not sure if a better angle wouldn't have worked better but I still really like the feeling you have created with this one. The expression on his face really does convey the joy of music. 7.
