I don't care for the post processing. Like the low key effect. Love the noise. Like the focus. Would like to see it in a straight up b/w.

The post processing on this one doesn't work for me. I don't understand why you want me to look at the orange dress and the lighter skin tones just don't work. A true b/w treatment would have been more appropriate or a tri- or quad-tone maybe. I would really like to see it in color...

Alive as Live Can Be

Your focus is a little soft. I don't mind that so much, however you are also blwon out in the highlights and the guys head dissappears into the pier... Taking a shot that isn't exposed properly and turning it b/w will usually only accentuate the fact that it's not exposed properly...

Don't ask me why, but of all the straight forward indoor rock concert shot from below in the crowd type shots, I really like this one. I don't know if it's the tonality (Did you use a tri-tone type treatment or is this the actual lighting?) or the lines but this shot just seems to jump out at me. It works! Nice capture.

I don't understand why you want to draw my eye to his blue jean clothes... I don't get it...

To me it never looks right to have a model on a third line facing out of the frame. It makes me feel that I'm missing something. Kinda like you're cheating me outa half the view...

Beautiful Noise

Comment:
I do not understand your message. You obviously want me to look at the red body of the guitar, but I do not know why. You used the flash for this shot didn't you. Did you try to take a blown out image and make it look better with the selective desat? If that was what you were trying it won't work. You just end up with a blown out b/w shot. To make b/w truly work, you need definition. You need texture. With the flash, you blew out both of those making it impossible for the b/w treatment to work.

Your choice to use selective desat doesn't make sense to me. I don't know what you are trying to convey with this style.

Phantom of the Opera

By definition, can it be 'Live Music' if it's a phantom? Nice shot. Wish it fit the challenge better. This shot to me says staged not 'go out and find Live Music'...

Did this gentleman know you were shooting him? It looks like a long distance shot from behind the bushes... The background is distracting. If you shot from a different angle it may have been better.
