Intense look. Great capture

Very nice, I really like the contrast of figures. I'm not sure what he is playing but I love his facial expression.

Not too many play this anymore, I've met a couple.

Excellent. 9.

Nice B/W work good over all tone and contrast, just a bit hot across the top. but not too bad

It took me a second to figure out what he was doing. Very unique capture of live music. Good job on placement of the subject in the frame. The backround is complimentary and adds interest to the picture.

That's a very fine image (same can't be said for your cheesy title, I'm afraid). The composition is effective and, if you've cropped, then your crop is clever, too. The intense expression of concentration on the subject is great, and his dark clothing contrasts well with the background people, giving him real visual impact. Then exposure is also excellent. It's a photograph filled with interest and even intrigue (e.g. what's with the hat; what's that in his pocket; why are all the people's arms folded; wonder if there were other instruments?) 9. Nope; second thoughts = bump to 10.

Nice shot, this guy has a great face, hope you got some more of him ;)

One of my favorites so far.

Too bad for all the people in the background as the main subject is shot perfectly if a tad bit dark in the jacket...

You captured a nice facial expression on your subjects face. I like the effect of the audience standing in the background. Beautiful clean picture. Good luck

Excellent photo. I like the angles in this shot. The image has a tense feeling to it.
08/17/2005 03:28:32 PM
intriguing....who are they in the BG?
08/17/2005 02:32:37 PM

Just perfect exposure, subject, comp. 10
08/17/2005 12:00:30 PM
Great tonality. I like the concentration of his face. 8.

Love his eyes. Shame about the light shirts in the background which distract the eye from the subject. The knuckle is just a tad too near the edge of the frame on the right hand side. Nice triangular composition though.

I love the title. Suites the photo well. The use of black and white works well for this shot.
08/17/2005 12:08:00 AM
I love his expression. And the people in the background are funny... standing with their arms crossed like "show me" or as if they're demanding he play or play well. Great capture.
