Old time microphone / old time grain effect? As I look at this photo, I start to see the chrome coming out. I think it is well done, but wonder if a sharper focus would have helped even more.
This is awesome! I like the focus and the fact that you can still make out the person behind the mic. B&W was the right choice for this shot IMO. Can't vote, but felt you needed a comment on this excellent shot.
It's a strong image. The bokeh is impactful, but I think a little too much of the subject is out of focus. And I am bothered by the blown highlights, though I imagine they are just about inevitable.
