Hi, Dave, I ~think~ I may have had a yellow filter on that day, which may have made things a bit more contrasty. But, as you know, I love that HP5+! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for taking the time to look at them, and thanks to anyone who feels compelled to comment. regards, frank Great shots Frank. Be happy. Requested nitpicking follows. Crooning looks pretty good except for the framing, too much missing from the bottom. Bass Player Mugs... rocks! Only detraction for me is the severed humans in the background. Lovely Gretsch... is great, would work better for me in a vertical which would lose some of the extraneous detail from the sides and give room to show the whole guitar plus allow a little breathing room similar to what you have on top. Stand Up... doesn't do anything for me. Not up to the quality of the other three. The balance is off, the neck drops me down out of the image, the bass player's right arm is cut in half and the hand is missing. Just having the hand plucking those strings included in the image would help immensely as it would recirculate my eye back into the image traveling up the arm to the face and then down again along the neck to the hand and so on and so on. Hope that helps (if not, please don't hold it against me) Dan Scott

Not bad. Individually I like 1 & 4. I find 2 & 3 too busy. That Sigma lens is fairly decent.

Re: Comments Please!
Thanks Alan, That's seems to be the concensus (I've had a few off list discussions as well), and one with which I'd agree. I really only threw that shot in for the purposes of the portfolio as a whole, and I thought that it would be good to have one of the bassist alone, not "mugging". But after hearing from yourself and a few others, I may lose it. Thanks so much for your thoughts, -frank Alan Chan wrote: > I'd say the "Stand Up Bass" is the least attractive one due to loose > composition.

Re: Comments Please!
I think you're right. That might have been difficult, as I was shooting from about 25 feet away through a crowd (sort of between heads), so it might have been difficult to have gotten a lower viewpoint. But from a purely aesthetic point of view, I do agree. thanks again, frank Alan Chan wrote: > I would choose to point the camera just a little bit lower for the > "Crooning".

Re: Comments Please!
Hi Frank, the photos are quite nice (I would have preferred them in color) and very sharp etc. I think it would be nice to play more attention to the proportions, the centering, --(difficult to explain, not my native language)-- you know: golden section and so on, to get a certain tension into the pictures that leads the viewer into the essential statement. Just my opinion. I am learning every day.

Re: Comments Please!
Great work, Frank. I agree with the others who thought that "Crooning" is the best shot of the group. I disagree strongly with the gentleman who suggested that it would be better as a vertical. The out of focus bass player helps establish the mood for the focal point of the photograph. But what really makes this shot work is that you've captured that magic moment. You've caught the singer in full boogy at one of those split seconds that define the whole performance. Nice, very nice.

Re: Comments Please!
Thanks, Butch, No lighting at all, except the late afternoon sun. Just one of those fortunate times when nature worked out well... And as for the framing of "Crooning", well, with great humility, I have to agree with Mr. Stenquist. I thought at the time I was shooting that the out-of-focus bassist would make a nice shot, and this was a rare occasion that my execution actually worked the way I'd hoped.
