I took a bunch of shots and this is the best one. I would have liked it if there was some motion blur however Harrison moves his head around more than he moves the drum sticks and i didn't want a total blur. Anyway, i love the facial expression.

Not much to this shot in Post Processing land. Bumped up the clarity and contrast for more *dramatic* feel.

Classic expression. Kid's can make the craziest faces. The lighting on his face helps exaggerate the face. I wonder if a slightly slower shutter would have still kept the face sharp but added some more nice blur to the arm?

Nice fun snapshot of the Kiddo. The look of determination is nice, and the blurred stick offers action/motion which may hint that this was not too posed. The wall directly behind him is a distraction I would have liked to see it pushed back a few feet. Also whatever the white box is behind him catches my eye. For me there just does not seem to be strong enough sense of rockstar which I would have liked to see more of. Perhaps the center composition/framing is where a lot is lost.

I think he's angry because he wants an acoustic kit. Nice face, priceless moment.
