Shot at Iceland Airwaves music festival in Reykjavik, Iceland during a concert with the Hurts. I didn't like them, but they were very photographer-friendly.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: This is a beautifully made image. The light, smoke, near silhouette, the tall mic, the amazing stance of the figure, the suggestion of a band name in the background - all make for an image that is very involving indeed. The monochrome treatment works fantastically well too.
Critical stuff: There is a minor background artefact showing through the smoke between the mic stand and the wire - given how good this image is, it might have been worth a clone-out to avoid the eye being led here.
Quite intriguing. He looks like a miniature because the microphone stand is so very tall compared to him. At first I thought it was just a matter of perspective, but that base is only a couple of feet from him, so I'm mystified as to why it is SO high up. Everything else is classic and gorgeous.
