Jazz On Tap is a regular Sunday night event at The Olde Hickory Tap Room in Downtown Hickory. Mr. Rick Cline (Drummer) hosts various jazz musicians in the area for live performances every Sunday night from 8 until 11. This is Mr. Patrick Brown on the Sax... The lighting in this environment naturally lends itself to high contrast photos.

Lovely moody shot - would look good on a postcard! The 'vintage feel doesn't quite work for me - spoilt by the modern neckstrap, watch and glasses - otherwise, great shot. Would lilke to see a little more highlight at the bottom of the picture. 9.
I really like this shot. Being a jazz lover, it drew my eye immediately. This has alot of mid tones which really aren't considered "high contrast" but the focus and the composition is well done.
engaging composition, really like the face partially hidden in shadows... background distracts slightly (perhaps a bit of burning would help?) one of my favorites this challenge
It's a pity that there's so little to recognize in the face. I'd have preferred it completely dark rather than this. That apart, This is a cool image. The saxophon leads the eye smoothly up to the face, the neck makes a curve and the arms lead my attention back down again. Excellent composition. 9.
Great focus and tones. I like the angle/perspective too. IMHO the border detracts from the overall impression of this particular shot though. Still, a great capture.
