 I am aware that the mic is covering the face of one of the singers, but I think the lighting makes up for it. The alternative would have been to look into the open mouth of the woman.

I Love this and you're right, The lighting makes up for it. Even though it is covering the face of one of the singers, it adds a great emphasis on the other singer.

Greeting from the critique club

Firstly I am really surprised that this didnt't score higher.. I thought it was very atmospheric.

I think you have done a brilliant job at catching the mood of the performance..you can almost hear the music. The lighting is fantastic and I love the way is catches the hair grip on the right and the mic also. Very cool!

Focussing in such a hard lighting situation is good-the faces are very sharp with just some blurring on the body. Background detail is unseen which helps the singers really stand out. Great.

You have said the biggest problem with the picture and that is that the mic is right in front of the girls face, I remember thinking this while voting. Perhaps if the girl was a little back from the mic it may have been possible to get her mouth and the mic... but you can hardly ask her to do this!

Overall i think this is a very good shot and I think you deserved to place a lot higher.

Hope some of this helps

I am not fond of the mic covering the girls face.
