back, white & sepia Beat of a Different Drum

Any comments or critiques are welcome. Thanks.

nice side ligthing...good momment...

This is very well executed, Linda. Most professional. Hands, drums, posture, expression and dramatic lighting all come together in a decisive moment.

Fantastic image, great light :)

 

Thanks for looking and for taking the time to comment. It's very much appreciated.

 

 

 

Absolutely wonderful mood you've created. The naturalness of your subject and your lighting and soft focus make me feel his harmony with his instrument. It's as if I'm seeing through his skin. You've conveyed movement and musicality and a lot of concentration and most of all ease. The way the light catches his hands and falls in stripes on his torso is just great. I love this kind of gentle and soulful portrait.

He looks to be lost in his own world and you've just come upon him...lovely!

The shadows and light are beautiful in this shot. I agree that he is so at ease with his art. I hope his money bowl at his foot was full by the end of the day.
