For me this image is solid but not spectacular. It doesn't really involve me, draw me in. There's nothing happening in the face, I think; it's not even contemplative-looking. The focus would seem to be the near hand, which is OK except it isn't; in focus, I mean. I know this is real tough of course, shot wide open handheld at slow shutter speeds...
It would be great, BTW, if you would post your settings with the picture, especially on shots like this, band shots where low-light contril is essential.
Anyway, I also find the BG spot unncomfortably close to the hand action, a sort of souble whammy. So, a nice shot but nothing to get real excited about in my book. |
