Would it be better to crop it to the guys (landscape format)?

Cropped and added border in PSP.

Photo from my vacation in Cubaaa...

Watering after hot day.

Sell it as a CD cover! ;-)

I like the absence of all the stage stuff for once in my pictures. I also like the retro/kitsch style of old pictures, that this picture reminds me of, and exactly that fictitious posing expresion on the singer's face. Of course, I am just crazy about the spotlight on his shoulder.

Dave, the film Neopan 400 was pushed to 1600.

 

Concert "portrait" of the singer Khaled on the Druga Godba music

festival in Ljubljana

I love that picture. It is interesting and funny. I wonder if the "landscape" orientation would be better instead of "portrait", if of course the lens would permit that and there is space around the building.

I had quite a difficult (but pleasant) task to read all the comments of my imperfect little picture. If this photo was a paperback book, I would print these comments on the back:

 

passive smoking nightmare - essentially sports photography dressed up in b&w jazz - weird, organic grain - the microphone is very ugly - (she was) caught at a non-flattering moment - let's just hope and pray for a drop of color next week -this one would have gone in my trash can - we of course have no idea what the relative humidity was.

Seriously, as photography is my hobby and not profession, I shoot only concerts of my choice. Because of that I am emotionally attached to my photos (frozen moments of good times) and cannot judge them (until some time distance). So POW is wonderful opportunity to hear different opinions and learn from them.

 

To all analytical minds here, some more technical details: lens was Canon 28-105 3.5-4.5USM, had to be cropped some because of the stage equipment in the way, scanned with 5 years old HP scanner. Print does have more grays. Smoke was a stage, not cigar effect. Sadly, the temperature and relative humidity data was not recorded at the time. The picture was taken at the moment of enough light (light technician created private atmosphere with low red lights to go with their music and I waited for the bright moment).

 

Special thanks to Mr. Tony Drumett for his kind comment, as I am great admirer of his work.

Thanks to all who have contributed their time to share their thoughts. Cheers,

 

Photo of a Portugese group Madredeus, performing on world music festival Druga Godba 2001 in summer open air theatre Krizanke in Ljubljana. The group became famous after appearance in Wim Wenders film. Their music, lights and smoke created very special atmosphere. Photographing was only allowed at first two or three songs, and we were not allowed to move under the stage because the television camera on rails. It was a problem with my maximum 105 mm. Film Fuji Neopan 400 was pushed to 1600.

thx for your critique. I agree with you about the white line. But I NEVER photograph in the studio. This one was made during the concert of a rock band. The girl unexpectedly appeard on stage for few minutes. All the photographers under the stage went mad... I admired the girl for her confident walk on the stage. Lots of people finds this photo disturbing or even vulgar and refuse to comment, and that's why it is so interesting to me. I am waiting for more comments.

Critique/rate

Nice photo, but I would position the subject away from the edge, approx. at the 2/3 of both axes, it would look nicer to me.
