Congrats Judi! What an awesome photo :-)
Sure, Kiss maybe wasn't the dominating powerhouse that they were in the 70's, but they were definitely alive and well and putting stuff out in the 80's! They have some of the most rock solid fans there are (try telling any Kiss Army member they weren't an 80's band!) And as TC points out, they were still in makeup til 83, and had some hits in the 80's. The photo is just great though. It reminds me of when the guys all put out a solo album. Maybe a square crop would make it feel like an album cover :-)
Great job! Awesome photo! WTG!!!

A very nice photo of the two of them. Odd? Old & young?

From the Critique Club

I hate drawing a shot to critique that has won a ribbon. What can I say that the voters haven't said already? I could go even more in depth into the history of the band, but that isn't really the purpose of a critique now is it?

This shot is simply stunning! Great choice of going with the centered subject! Doesn't always work, but this time it's perfect. Awesome lighting. Love the shadow on the right side of the subject's face (Left in photo). Focus is spot on. Everything is nice and sharp, but not to the point of hurting your eyes. Only thing I can think of to improve the image would be to have a light near the camera to put a little sparkle in his eyes. Not sure that would really help in this instance though because after all Gene was supposed to be the 'King of the Night Time World' and you captured that essence!

Keep up the good work. Let's see more ribbons.
Yours
TC

I like the idea, though I'm not sure the motobike sitting on the kids face is really the best way to resolve the action portrayed here. It distracts from the rest of teh image, and our apprehension of the kid. 6

Very original photo, however the light source is supposed to be non-stationary, not your subject.
