So he's singing? There's nothing here that screams "action!!!". It's just a sweaty man singing. Might be better with different lighting and background.

I've met him!
Twice!
No, really, I have.
Ask me about it when the challenge is over.
I'd certainly like to see what other shots you have of him.
Actually, my girlfriend would like to see them.

Anyway, back to the photo!!!!
I'm sure a lot of people won't appreciate how fortunate you were to get this shot, there can't be many places where you can take such a clear picture of such a big celeberity.
The DOF is good.
I think his face is just a little lacking in focus.
But his sweat and expression show how much the music means to him.

I so wanted to go to the Jazz Fest, just had too many other things to do. :-( Great photo for an A&E section of a newspaper or Entertainment magazine.

Nicely done. It caught him in mid strum, yet it's clear and focused. Good skin tones. I can definitely see this on the cover. 8

Way to catch the emotion involved with his act.
