brilliant shot alicia .. love the original with the darkness and the tones .. your processing is excellent .. i would'v been tempted to retain that beautiful orange colour and just lighten the man .. just my opinion tho .. :)

Wow, you've really captured the energy and concentration in this shot, well done. Did you use AF on this? I ask because my autofocus was a pain in low-light when I used the 50mm with my old 350D. I don't know if the focus is locked on the back wall but he could be sharper - you probably could have got away with boosting the ISO on this.

I really like how the musician is so into what he's doing. You caught a great moment!

As you can tell I like the no crop suggestion.

I don't think the "unsinful" ratio of all photography should be dictated by camera sensor manufacturers, so I would not only take that with a grain of salt, I'd call BS.

I like the way you framed this shot with the background. The angle of the flute against the verticle lines of his body & the mic along with the background make for a nice composition. Being indoors I'm curious what settings you were working with.

ETA: thanks for adding the settings. I'm surprised there's not more motion blur at that speed with the way musicians move.

nice shot, the blurred motion and using the "South galleries" as the title works well.
