I'm not fond of the focus in this photo. It also looks like some funny editing on the bottom left corner. When entering a challenge it might be a wise question to ask, "is this something you'd hang on your wall???" Good luck in this chalenge.
Great composition and I love the mood created by all the redness. I wish we could see more detail, particularly in his face, but I know that's difficult to accomplish when shooting directly into the light.
Love the atmospheric quality of this that comes from the subdued light on the subject and the bright light in the upper corner. Right on topic!. Love the lighting on the bass especially. Very fine image.
This is wonderful! I love the emotion on his face, only problem I would mention is the light seems a little blown out to me, perhaps it would be more powerful with that portion cropped out, still a very powerful and emotional image in my opinion.
