Sound Check

[freezeframe03]

Went to listen to a local band and practice low light, high ISO photos. I was better positioned for the sound board (I think that's what it's called?) than the band. I have done some pp in gimp. There was a light at the top of the board which blows out some detail in his right hand. Is that ruining the photo? How is the rest of the exposure? Does this photo have any interest to you? Please add any other critique that would have helped this photo. Thanks.

What an unusual subject! I like it.

All sound boards have lights so the operater can see and I don't think his hand looks blown out at all. Your white balance is great, and the color looks really good, I can't find a single recommendation to make to improve what you have - looks to me like you accomplished what you set out to do.

I like to composition and subject...
the colors work great....

i will say that yes the right hand does look a little blown, but not overpowering as one can tell where the light sources are coming from... but it also gives a nice contrast to the left hand, which is practically darkened out of the subject...

the only thing i could think of, would be maybe a little tighter and use of DOF on this...but its good overall!
