Nice capture of the enthusiastic directing of this musical conductor:-) Lighting is good. Focus is just a tad soft on the face and raised hand. Aside from that wonderfully exuberant expression on the gentleman we see the U.S. flag held promeniently in his lower hand. I could almost hazard a guess that the orchestra is playing Star Spangled Banner:-) The shot is good but I only see what might be the music rather than 'hear' it. It is tough to capture sound but you *can* give one a sense of the music. You are halfway there with the conductor, but where are some of the musicians he is conducting? I feel that if you showed us some of the musicians playing instruments in the backdrop or off to the side it would have a much greater impact with *showing* us the music. It doesn't have to be the whole orchestra for you don't want to lose whom the main subject is to the crowd. It could just be the musicians in the forefront...just enough so that you show us whom he is conducting and the action of the musicians playing their instruments.

Great capture of a human American moment - the expression & body language make this photograph a quite telling moment. Good eye, great catch.
