I really like the motion blur (I presume it's that) in the arm and head, it makes the whole thing feel quite lively. |

Nice, "real life" shot, cool venue, and not too much PP at all! You really rescued a dark photo by judicious lightening/brightening. Good to be sharing another side challenge. |

Great job on the processing and certainly holding the camera steady for 1/15. As soon as I opened this I thought I saw a bit of Fractalius, and you used just the right amount here. |

Alicia, I love your little explanation... "it's what I do"... too funny! And very "you". Really cool what you pulled from this, particularly the detail in the wall! |

You did a great job of lightening this without loosing details. I enjoyed especially trying to read the writing on the wall. Wait, isn't that a song lyric? LOL Hmmmm, oh well. I'll bet this guy was amazing! Being a flautist myself, I can't imagine moving around like that while playing :)

I say process away...if it's hardly noticable when you're finished you've done well...and by hardly noticable I simply mean that it doesn't take away from the context of the pic. Nice work! |

brilliant shot alicia .. love the original with the darkness and the tones .. your processing is excellent .. i would'v been tempted to retain that beautiful orange colour and just lighten the man .. just my opinion tho .. :) |

Wow, you've really captured the energy and concentration in this shot, well done. Did you use AF on this? I ask because my autofocus was a pain in low-light when I used the 50mm with my old 350D. I don't know if the focus is locked on the back wall but he could be sharper - you probably could have got away with boosting the ISO on this. |

I really like how the musician is so into what he's doing. You caught a great moment! |

I don't think the "unsinful" ratio of all photography should be dictated by camera sensor manufacturers, so I would not only take that with a grain of salt, I'd call BS.
I like the way you framed this shot with the background. The angle of the flute against the verticle lines of his body & the mic along with the background make for a nice composition. Being indoors I'm curious what settings you were working with.
ETA: thanks for adding the settings. I'm surprised there's not more motion blur at that speed with the way musicians move.
