 One of my kids' friends from college... here in our living room after a quick dinner from the grill... what a great concert! And I didn't even have to change out of my shorts and tee-shirt to attend! Good stuff!

Is it technically good High Key?

Nope. There're no details in the whites...

But... still... I love it.

(and his voice) *grin*

Wonderful energy - looks great in high key - in fact he looks so good that it makes me wonder what he's singing!!

Gave it a 7. ...or did I??? Yes, I did. More contrast maybe would've boosted the score from the masses, I think.

I like the idea, it's different. My only complaint would be that the hotspot on the forehead is slightly distracting. 7

This is very well done. The subject is obviously not pale skinned and yet you have very successfully produced a beautiful high key portrait of him without it looking over exposed or washed out.

Interesting. This type of photo is usually low key, so it's making me do a double take. Great preservation of detail.
