You might be right....it didn't need as much on my laptop monitor...but it might need some in general. Will experiment.

I thought the hand on the hard was a nice touch for this scene...

I agree....shooting drummers is extremely difficult cause they are often blocked by their drums.

This was one of those shots where the drums came out so nice but yes, what I'd have given to have the drummer as passionate as some of my past drummer subjects (but in those, the lighting, environment, and blocked view hurt the photos). Here I get a better view, and I love how the lighting (green and red) played off the cymbals and drums. But yes....the drummer lacks the necessary energy.

I would have loved to have the focus a touch sharper...bu it's extremely hard to focus with that filter on. Have to do manual in extremely low-light.

Thought I think the expression and the effect plays out fairly well in the shot.

I regret not really having gotten to go to the imperial desert when I was a child growing up in San Diego.

(we were poor, and well most of my time out there we only had a moped for a car - so it's kinda hard to take a family trip out. though I did do some camping out in the desert with my father a few times)

Great shot BTW
