The lighting on this shot jumps out at you on the thumbnail shots and when you get here you need to put on your shades! :) THe way it cuts into his face is very dramatic but a bit overpowering for me. You can see the almost rapturous expression on his face, not as intense as the light. Overall not a bad shot, just a bit overpowering for me. I started at a 4 but am going up to a 6

Interesting use of light. Good focus, I like the position of the guitarist, but I have to say the lighting does kill it for me. I think this was a purposeful choice, but my personal preference would've been the intense light behind him, so it cloaked him from behind, giving that feeling of power radiating around the subject. In an aside, it looks like half his face came off and the light burst out from inside.. but I'm kind of weird. :) Strong image, and I've decided it was a conscious light choice, gave a 7 even tho its not my cup of tea, still a gutsy different vein to go in.
