All, These photo's were taken in January at Sydney's Big Day Out music festival.

The band is "Jet", and this is the lead singer.

What one to use?

1003 is my pick with a tighter crop. Nice pic

Ditto.

I wish that bastard didn't put his hand up then. Except for that pointing bloody hand, I really like that shot. The smoke masks out the people side stage enough.

Here we go: 1003 re-cropped. I'll edit out that ugly mug in the background.

Any thoughts on this one??

My obvious thought is cropp off the left a little, but i want to keep as much of the red smoke as possible.

You could crop the right side after the amp.
