Taken during high schol ANZAC Day Ceremony. No opportunity to set up shots. Just shoot what was available during busy ceremony in a poorly lit hall.
Crop, resize, neat image, usm, save.

The lighting is superb. However the clarity around the Piper's left arm looks a little false. Is this due to background blurring?. I particularly like the light and dark effect though.
interesting light, saturation of color, soft focus, lack of detail and contrast imbalance all need some attention, good subject well framed, but poorly exposed and presented
I am a little disappointed that this young fellow is so out of focus. With a clear, crisp focus... thei picture would have jumped right out and grabbed me. It didn't. (4)
Nice idea, but I find the lighting to be very harsh, and from a bad angle. Having the suject turn slightly and step more into the light, and fixing your exposure would avoid the blow outs on the face and arms.
There's something strange going on with the blur in parts of this image; I can't figure it out. Otherwise, a nice composition of an interesting subject.
