i like the first one.. i use saturation drops a lot in band photos too.. seems to give them that "feeling" the other photos dont really do anything for me though.. and heres why:
#2 the mic stand in the front grabs my attention, instead of the dude.
#3 i think you should have gone landscape, it would have looked better, because the way it is, I think to myself "what was the subject? the drummer, or the guitarist.. whereas if it was landscape, and you can see both properly, i would know the intent was for both in the photo.
#4 main problem i have with it, is you cut off his head... there are a few other things to, like the mic stand..
