I don't think this is gonna do too well.... reasons why
1 - the band is not prominant in the photo
2- the picture is real small
3- the focus is well... not focused
4- the lighting is basic and it looks like this could have been taken by just any person sitting around with a camera.
I don't mean to be harsh - this is a learning web site so I thought I should point some stuff out since a lot of people don't comment. my last picture got hammered because of a lack of focus.
Pleas don't take this wrong, but..... To small, Should have gotten closer to the band, people in the foreground are distracting plus the are overlit by the flash and the band got hardly any light. Try getting closer to the stage next time.4
The picture that you posted is too small. Consider submitting at 600pixels wide. The idea is good, but the band are not prominent enough in the picture and the flash has only 'reached' the audience.
I'ts hard to see whst's going on onstage -- larger pic size would help -- A little more light on stage would help -- I do like the idea of showing the audience in the forground.
you'll probably hear this alot: pic is too small, and of too low resolution to fare too well. flash fall off, and dim subject won't help you either. the blonde's head detracts too much attention from the barely distinguishable band.
All I see is the audience. Maybe if this submission was bigger and you did not use a flash, it would be better. Keep at it - this was a hard challenge.
Too small...not enough presence, the stage is the focus but near impossible to see, the people in the foreground are blurred but the only prominent objects
Let me be the 1st or 2nd or 3rd or well, one of the people who say the image is too small. There is a tutorial somewhere in the forums about sizing images properly. Other than that - I can't see much in the way of Live Music. I know it's there, but I can't see it. Best of luck, hope this helps.
