 The inimitable James Morrison performing at a church conference in Adelaide. Lighting was amazing and the conference was superb.

He plays with power and pssion. Thought this would be good for the challenge, but I am not sure how it will go with the DNMC people out there.

Basically cropping levels and sharpening, some noise reduction and then more sharpening...border and resize, final USM

Oh man! I LOVE shots like this! This is amazing. I love the color tones, and having tried before to get sharp live music shots, I really appreciate what you've accomplished with this photo! AWESOME!!!!!

Hey hey... not a bad finish considering you were worried about DNMCs. I thought it a great take on the challenge and wondered how it would go. Gave it a 10 without batting an eyelid. The noise didn't particularly bother me. You captured a perfect James Morrison moment (or any great brass muso for that matter)- the screwed up face, sweaty brow and forehead thanks to lights and of course, effort.

Fantastic work! :)
Cheers
Rina.

A pass through NI would have really helped this, and it looks as though you may have added the border prior to doing any PP work.
