This is my brother in law, David. He's, uh, playing the blues.
I desaturated all colors but blue and cyan, added some grain (I shot with ISO 400, hoping for some grain, and didn't get enough, IMO), and wished the bright spots weren't there.
Some folks just hate selective desaturation, but I think it is appropriate here. Some folks don't like grain, but I think it's appropriate here, too. With all these people not liking things that I used, it'll be interesting to see how this does...
David was amazingly patient as I took photos of him from above, below, far away, very close. He just played on, ignoring me as his songs carried out past the deck we inhabited and into the cool, damp forest outside of Durango, Colorado. In the end, I liked this shot best of 'live music,' but others best of David himself.
David's website is: //www.davidedwardsmusic.com/
His music is great! Get one of his CDs!

Cool -- maybe I'll pick up a CD. The link to music samples on his site doesn't direct you to an actual page btw. Great shot I really enjoyed this one, Dave(s).
