Flash is a bit overwhelming, and I don't feel like it really meets the spirit of the challenge, even though no people are present.

Nice idea, but the lighting seems far too harsh to me.

Nice idea, great arrangment and assortment of instruments. Wish for softer lighting. While I don't quite think that the band left without their instruments, I like it.

Nice idea, but the lighting is bad - direct flash I suppose, but I don't like it. The lighting calls too much attention to itself, and away from the items in the image.

This image lacks a clear focal point. There is too much for the eye to settle on and seems cluttered. The angle in which it is taken from is also a bit distracting; without the ability to use perspective tools it makes it seem slanted. I'd have taken some steps to the right to center up and not have such leaning lines.

The flash is not at all flattering for this shot.

A nice idea. A bit static on the composition and the flash was bright (see the drums? on the left). 5

Technically, this is an OK shot (lighting/contrast/focus good), but it still leaves me a bit flat, if you'll pardon the pun :-) Having all the instruments makes the scene a bit busy, and there's not anything to really hold my attention, despite the pop of the contrast. Of course, having played in the band myself, I know that the people haven't gone home without their instruments, so this barely meets challenge ;-)

This looks more like third quarter band break to me., :) but its a nice picture anyway.

i like the composition but the lightiing is a bit harsh
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/25/2006 06:34:53 AM
good idea.
a different point of view would maybe give this shot a little more "pop" rather than an ordainary straight on view.
maybe from along the sides or down low and looking up?

great

Sharp focus and nice colors; I think the composition could have been more interesting
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting idea. I think the flash lighting doesn't help the pic, because there are strong reflections on some of the instruments and fall off of light to the side and back.
