Still learning, but a few for you guys to critique...

So, these are from the summer jazz concert series here in NYC. Working on picking up a new niche market, since there are loads of concerts/events around this area. Let me know what you guys think!

Not my area of expertise, but looks like some nice work under challenging conditions.

Thanks! Oh...and how do you post a pic directly in the post, instead of as an attachment?

#1 is under exposed
#2 good job of shooting facing a large bright light and not getting a silhouette. The image needs more contrast however. There are no deep blacks in the image.
#3 a good example of needing to pay attention to shadows. The shadow from the mic on her face kills it for me.
#4 I think if his eyes were open it might help.

After uploading the attachment, right next to it is a choice....... attachment or full image. Choose the latter.

I think the first one is a good candidate for album cover, either as is (when brightened) or pixelated.
I always show images in a standard format so people could project their final uses more easily

FWIW: my version would be nominated for POTM.

Because of the shadow on her face?

 

[dannylightning]
