Sharon Lamotte sings at the Olde Hickory Tap Room on Sunday evening...
I feel bad about this entry as one in the MS Walk Bracket tournament. I like the photo quite a bit, but I know these types of images don't do particularly well on DPChallenge. I have been very busy this week and haven't put forth ample time or effort on this challenge. The subjects of chrome and candid are both ones that I should normally do well in, but I just didn't do it this week...

John, I like the emotion in the singer's face, and the tones you've captured. B&W suit it well too. Unfortunately her arm draws the eye away from her face because it is a large, light mass. Naturally light draws the eye.
I like how she holds her pinky up when holding a mic...like me...tehehe. The only improvement would be to crop most of her arm out. Otherwise very nice! :)
I would not feel bad about this photo. It may not have scored highly but it is a great image. I feel the general tonal qualities and softness of the face help carry the emotion of the subject.
I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.
This is ok. I can see the emotion and like the tones, but the photo is really lacking in focus. I do like that there is more focus on the eyes then anywhere else, as most emotion is coming from them. I also like the way it is cropped. It's just a good candid to me. I gave it a 5.
