An interesting snapshot but not 'super' as a picture.
His belt buckle, a slice of belly and his crotch are the clearest parts of the shot.
Almost a great happy accident but its missing for me.

Sorry,

thanks man,
so i need some explaining on the hole snapshot thing. ive only had my camera for like 3 weeks so im completely new to photography. i do make alot of motion pictures tho so i understand MOST of the science.

ok so would it be safe to say that im order for it not to be just a snap shot it would be like having a theme in a motion picture?

i think it would be great . . . if it was advertising the clothing.

snapshots are an interesting thing, but basically around here its peoples way of saying you didn't put enough thought into it (may not be what the traveler may have meant)

but i would say its a miss as well, i like the motion in the shot, and like the color, but its seems to be more about what he's wearing than the music, or the show . . . can't see his face to get an idea of the emotions in the music.

ohh ok i think im getting it. well what about this one, i know its probly a miss but if you could give me some help as to why like you guys always do that would be great. i learn alot from being ripped apart i like it.

MOD EDIT: please start a new thread for each new image.

you used a flash in that one right? it would have been better if it had been on rear curtain sync so that the blur would be behind him (unless hes moving backward)

MOD EDIT: come on Mike, you this isn't a 'how to' forum. you know better than that
