 I used lightroom 4, Photoshop for cropping and final editing, I brightened up the main photo more because of the harsh tent lighting and used a custom grey card for the white balance. Trying my hand at portraits, wasn't sure on what to focus on. Denoised and used define for noise reduction

Hello from the critique club...

The 1st thing that jumps out at me is the lighting. It just seems off. I understand that this was at a music festival in a tent. The lighting can be hard to manage. I am sure that had an effect on your score. However, the subject is good and I like how you framed him into the shot using the microphone as "the rule of thirds". Happy shooting...
