Dive Bar Blues

I don't care for the post processing. Like the low key effect. Love the noise. Like the focus. Would like to see it in a straight up b/w.

Beachside

The post processing on this one doesn't work for me. I don't understand why you want me to look at the orange dress and the lighter skin tones just don't work. A true b/w treatment would have been more appropriate or a tri- or quad-tone maybe. I would really like to see it in color...

Alive as Live Can Be
by ShannonLee

Comment:
Your focus is a little soft. I don't mind that so much, however you are also blwon out in the highlights and the guys head dissappears into the pier... Taking a shot that isn't exposed properly and turning it b/w will usually only accentuate the fact that it's not exposed properly...

The bass player

Don't ask me why, but of all the straight forward indoor rock concert shot from below in the crowd type shots, I really like this one. I don't know if it's the tonality (Did you use a tri-tone type treatment or is this the actual lighting?) or the lines but this shot just seems to jump out at me. It works! Nice capture.

The sound of music
by the great ubaldo

Comment:
I do not believe that you have met the challenge with this shot. The challenge said to go find 'Live' music and photograph it. This is obviously a set up shot. Now that that's out of the way... You've cropped this (or shot it) way too tight. It has no room to breath. It's also out of focus and looks very flat as if there wasn't enough light. Is this in a studio or some place where you can play with the lights? Light it up from the side and the speaker and knobs would come alive with texture and you'll be able to focus better if there is more light.
