Lots of technical issues, but a moody and interesting photography
nonetheless.
There is some data in the blown out hand, so a *little* bit of
recovery is possible there. The blacks are a little soft, they should
be deeper. Not a lot to work with but some gentle shaping with dodge
and burn would help, or a better scan.
I mucked with it a little bit:

I know this isn't terribly sharp, as it was handheld about about
1/15th or 1/30th, aperture wide-open, and I think I missed the focus a
bit. The lighting with the spot on Tim the trumpet player was tough.
Still, there's a dynamic I like about this one. Not one of my best,
but not one of my worst, either:

I'd be interested in knowing if you think the obvious technical
deficiencies are overcome by the image itself. Thanks for commenting.
cheers,
