single photos listening

Sometimes, the best way to hear something is with your head between

the speakers.

great composition and tonal range/contrast

This would be a great shot except for the fuzzy blurry object in the foreground.

I agree with the previous comment. This photo didn't need the fuzzy head(?) in the foreground. It was a good and imaginative shot without it. However, if your intention was to leave a slightly disoriented feel in the mind of the viewer then it works, as I find my eyes moving between the foreground object and the background in a disconcerting way. So an additional comment about your intention here might be helpful for viewers.

The fuzzy blur is the producer's cap. He's listening to the track along with the drummer. It's a candid snap of a recording session in progress.

The head in the front has ruined your picture. I suggest cropping it out.

Ruined? Wow. Thanks for everyone's comments, I appreciate it.

Sometimes symetric pictures are good!

I agree 100% about keeping the producer's blurry head out of the shot. The cropped shot looks much better, but you might even want to try using Photoshop to clone out the head. I know this is probably considered a "documentary" photo, so you might not want to alter it that way, but I love the composition of the entire shot (with the exception of the head), so I've uploaded my suggested version. Keep in mind it's QUITE rough. Great shot though!

Thanks, Jae. Interesting...
