Comments & critiques welcome.

Excellent portrait. Moody and soulful. I like the line of light to the right too, it fills the space nicely.

A great photo of BB and Lucille. It's a bit of a shame that the towel happened to be there. This man is an icon, that guitar-lady is an icon. Love the way he bends with the neck hand shaking like a flying butterfly. No one else makes as soft yet clear sounds out of a 335. The facial expression here tells about a long long career, saying this is the way I do it. Great photo.

Excellent capture of the great artist..

another very good capture well done

I'm assuming you had a pass for this? In which case it's a shame you didn't move 3 paces to the right to avoid the towel on the stand. When I shot his London show last year we had free movement in the pit. Apart from that I like the eye contact from such a legend. My shots are on my website www.neillupin.com
