Default Far-distant-close-up...

I took this one during a percussion-class using a sigma 150-500mm. Ever picture i took was a nightmare as i discovered the class whas held in a basement and the only windows were covered with plastic due to construction-works on the outside. I didn`t use flash, but relative high ISO on most of them.

At this size, I don't think it looks too bad. A little work to brighten it up a tad is all I feel it needs.

Thanks for the critique! Yes, it`s a little dark. As told the event was taaking place in a bacement and the windows were covered with plastic. The first picture is a resault of a fast development of a large quantity of raw-files (over a thousand) from three days. I played around a little and got a few resaults,

I like your updates much better! The original was so dark you couldn't see any definition. Well done.

The second one on the redo was perfect... I thought the first one was a little too bright.

Thank you for the comments. I`m still playing around with it and think i will end up in between the two re-posts. How about this one; - is this to dark to? And with dark, do you meen to little contrast between the light and the dark or overall dark?
