Great portrait Sher, it was in my top 15. ;)

Couldn't answer this morning (I guess it was nighttime in Louisiana), you caught me 5 minutes before I had to go to work. :)

Is that a lobster in his pants, or is he just happy to see me? hehe. Very nice focus and clarity. This shows some personality for sure. Love the lack of color. Background is good, nothing distracting there. Overall a very nice shot. 10 ~Heather~

Exceptional energy captured here.
Great use of Duo/Tri/Quad tone to accent the mood.
Well-deserving of a 10 and one of my top picks in this challenge.

This is not the kind of photograph I normally like, but I can't help but like this one. I can almost hear the music everytime I look at it. It's one of my favorite in the challenge. Good luck :)

The position of the white hat against the dark background along with the white shirt, completely balances the shot in the frame. I have shot enough concerts and festivals to know how difficult it is to capture a shot this clean and crisp. The clarity is impressive. I do like the unusual colorcast, it's a bit on the green side on my monitors. I can't help but wonder how many will see this as brown, red or yellow due to monitor calibration. (Just a ramble of thought).
Good positioning,
Great clarity,
Interesting subject,
This is one of my top picks for the challenge.
.... Good luck, it looks great.

There is a lot of energy in this shot. The tones are good, nice isolation, a little bright on the hat but I think it blends well with the darker tones of the shot that it is not distracting at all. The diagonal line of the body is good too. A technically good shot but overall it's the energy and sense of fun and enjoyment that comes across. Good shot!

On a side note, this was my 1000th comment!
