I like the "softer" look this has compared to most stage shots.

This would be nice in black and white also. Nice capture and I love the intensity in his face.

Very good clarity and detail. Seems a little too tall, would crop from the top to get rid of some of that background space, maybe halfway between where it is now and his head.

A good, clear shot, marred by the object to the bottom left.

Nicely done. Looks like it could be on the cover of an album. You did a wonderful capture on the sax. I like the brushed look.

Nice capture. Great sharpness is key areas. The mood is lacking and not a wow factor for a higher score. 6

nice shot. I like how the man and the large sax fill up most of the portrait frame. good detail to get the sweat. also pretty nice job getting him to stand out from the background a little.

lovely study...perhaps the negative space at the top could go, but that's just me...8
