can't add much to the comments already provided, except to say that this is a MEMORABLE image--I won't have to come back here and look it up again: it exists permanently in my memory, to enjoy whenever and wherever I wish. And this is the work of a Master. Plain and simple, a Master.

This is extraordinarily well seen, well executed, and stands independent of any challenge theme. Not a single false step or choice in this image.

This is extraordinarily beautiful: luminous, layered, lovely lines that feel so peacefully languid, masterful control of tone, texture, exposure, and excellent choice on extra foreground, to add the lonely context to the composition

at first glance a simple, wonderful image of a pretty girl, but so much more
perfect control of tone, contrast--with all those highlights in the background, SHE remains the highlight (as it should be)
microphones and stands blend with the background--present enough so we know they are there, but not distracting or dominant in the composition
and a nice little surprise--the background singer blending with with background.

capturing that smile, with her hand just so, really pushes this image to the top
