I think that the treatment you have given this photograph has destroyed it. It looks like a well composed picture with some of the dynamics expected in a live performance.
Filters: The use of filters (or non-Photoshop equivalent) is strictly limited. Any filter or stand-alone utility designed and used to preserve the integrity of the image and/or reduce the effects of noise, scratches, etc, are permitted. These include but are not limited to the Sharpen, Unsharp Mask, and Dust & Scratches filters, and standalone image cleanup utilities such as NeatImage. However, no effects filters may be applied to your image, with the exception of Noise and Gaussian Blur, which are allowed. Any filter permitted by this rule must be applied uniformly to the entire image. Selective application of any filter is prohibited.
If I'm in the wrong, please feel free to PM me but the way I see it this shouldn't be in the challenge, not because of the capture, because of the editing. I did not request this for DQ, I'll leave that up to you.
With that said I do think it's a cool picture. It meets the theme of the challenge, I would have given you a 7-8 but you've broken the rules. Sorry.
Sadly, I believe this is a basic challenge and said filter use will likely DQ the photo. Although perhaps you utilized various global filters and color adjustments.
Most people are probably going to vote you down for the use of this filter, but I actually think that it works well with this picture. "8" from me for trying different things.
