a bit too much contrast for my liking, we'll see what you think.

Would be a 8 without the web link.
Nice expression on the subjects face.
Nice contrast.
I think that lad may have misplaced his pants though.

Thanks to both of you, although I really wish you hadn't counted off for the watermark...

I'm asking you to judge my photograph, not the watermark. It's like saying that your food was bad because the tablecloth was the wrong color, it's just frustrating for me because it doesn't make sense...

Anyway, he has a habit of being as close to nude as possible when playing. This man really does launch his body at his drums, and as such probably gets very, very hot :-)

Really good capture of the intensity of his playing. I think the contrast is a little high, but all in all, a good picture Score 8/10 (from the Score Me!

Is he actually playing in his underwear. That's funny. I'd actually prefer to see a widershot of this. I don't like the fact the left side is cut off.
As for the contrast(it's my taste) but it actually like I for this picture in particular.

up, lighting is a bit sharp, but it adds to the mood.

Nice timing, capturing well the action, the feeling. Indeed, amazingly clear for a concert photo, but excepted where it gets "bleached/overexposed" (left bottom corner and a bit on the body), I don't mind (all concerts don't have the same light).
A bit frustrated by the small size to score.

To silentmute: He's not actually playing is his underwear, those are very short shorts (shorter than any track shorts I've ever seen) ;-) I know what you mean about the framing, but I couldn't figure out what to do... I'm a huge believer in the rule of thirds, but that shot was almost impossible to shoot using any part of the rule, so I went with instinct; this is what came of it... Luckily, I have wider shots of him from other shows, but unluckily, very few of them came out well... C'est la vie, eh?

To angelina: Thanks for the input :-)

To pierre: Thanks a million for the comment :-) I know what you mean, and I wish I could have done better... As for the size, I never put high-res photos online unless the band wants them ;-)

It's all a learning experience, that's the beauty of photography.
