This is my friend Xai performing live in a local coffee shop. He was playing music from one of his musical project bands called Hedgehog & Frog. You can check some of his stuff out on Myspace here.

wonderful sense of style...tones, composition all work wonderfully together...forgetting the whole competition for a bit, I can't see this ever being underrated, more likely celebrated inside a cd insert...
I, for one, really like your style. It may not score well, but it's very good. This is an excellent example - this is a fine "in the moment" capture with a great deal of life to it. It's well composed, well exposed, and has just the right touch of post processing - at least in my uneducated opinion. Yet for DPC, it's not "flashy" enough - and I certainly wouldn't want it any flashier. It has DPC-technical-flaws - blown highlights, cutoff head, cutoff arms - all of which, in my opinion, serve the composition well. So do what you do - there are some of us out here who really appreciate it. And I'm betting your friend liked this, too - did he put it up on his myspace page?
A couple of randowm thoughts as a reaction to your picture: the lighting is too harsh and blows out section of his face and shirt. THe light also is the reason for motion blur of the singer, while the mike is sharp and crisp. distracting background, eyes are closed
Interesting. I wish the person were as sharp as the microphone is. Not sure I like the cut off head or the yellow-green tint to the photo. But I like his pose, you can tell he's really into the music.
