This is AWESOME. It so draws you into the moment!!! I love everything about this picture: the depth of field, the selective saturated sepia tones. The sharpness of the pictures, but mostly just the subject. GREAT JOB! One of my favorites!

Wow! I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I love the intensity of his face as he gets into his music. I love the outside bright compsition, and I love how you've cropped it. Maybe just a tiny bit of grain, but it's such an cxcellent job anyway!!!!

Wow! Very well captured! I'm wondering how you got it so sharp with low light and movement. I'm taking huge hits on my live music shot because I couldn't get it sharp enough, and it had more light than this. GREAT job!

Now, this has an Ansel Adams look to it with the high contrast. I agree that a little rotation to straighten out the horizon would make this a fantastic shot!!! Great job!

I love shots like this, but in this particular one, maybe a color version would have worked better since the depth of field is shallow, and the bird may have stood out more against a soft background.

This is gorgeous! I love the smoothe quality of the sand. It has a very exotic landscape feel to it. This is one, where if it were in a challenge, I would give it a 10! See how subjective photography is? I absolutely love the black and white. I think it makes it stand out from a typical ocean photo. Fantastic job!
