Rock Jam, headline act staring Chickenfoot. Shot with a 400D at ISO 1600, so yes a lot of Photoshop went into this
Raw increased vibrance.
Profiled to sRGB, that was the easy part.
Twice threw Topaz Detail, once as the whole image, and again at the end with drummers and guitarists face.

Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

I thought this was yours, given your HDR challenge entry and all. This was a better photo, or at least, a better job of processing. Sharp, colours good... composition okay. I might have gone with just Sammy and the drummer, personally, cropping out the guitarist... would have brought more focus on the primary subject and allowed more detail in the image (i.e. get most out of the 720px limit), and would have eliminated the empty space in the middle there.

Sammy Hagar is a pig...no I mean really. I once cleaned his hotel room! Clean shot though. : )
