Great images, esp. on download, Blackest! Tones are rendered especially well on both, but if I had to choose, I guess #2 would be my favorite. Well done!

Thank you, #1 was the hardest to capture, I wanted to be slow enough to capture the motion of his hand without turning the whole of the image into a blurry mess I missed a few....

Nice work. That said, I'd like to see more of the girl and less of the stones over her head.

Really nice work.

Goods shots but I will mention a couple of points, the first is perhaps purely personal, I'm not keen on pictures of people wearing sunglasses. The eyes, to use a cliché, are the windows to the soul, the sunglasses remove any chance of the viewer getting an emotional connection with the subject.

I do like the second picture much more but I would have liked to see the whole guitar.

It is funny you should say that, because that is close to the intention. It is easier to perform wearing sunglasses in front of people than without them. It takes a lot of self confidence to be on stage and the glasses help distance the audience, it's quite disconcerting having a lot of people all looking at you. Even working behind a bar when you first start you feel like everyone is looking at you but it doesn't take too long to realise that people are mostly interested in getting their next pint.

Playing to an audience is quite scary at first, usually after having it done it a few times it gets easier. You eventually have your onstage persona and confidence.

I will have to look through and see what I have for the lass and other people who were performing that afternoon. Thank you too for giving me more confidence in how i am processing these shots.
