 I was going to play it safe and enter a shot of a waterfall in daylight with a bridalveil effect but the weather didn´t really cooperate with me as the weather really stunk during the weekend. I ended up going to this concert instead and tried out shooting with a second curtain flash instead and this was the coolest shot I got.

Taken with a 580ex set to go off at the second curtain and ambient lighting. I didn´t process this image a whole lot, just brightened it up a bit and increased contrast with curves and sharpened. Oh, and I had a blast at the concert, I reccomend that if anyone has the chance to see Mugison live they go do so.

Edit after challenge:
I am extremely pleased with this score, I wasn´t sure it would even break 5 since I thought a lot of people would think it wasn´t on topic, thanx everyone, especially to those that commented.

I love this kind of shot and you really nailed this one. The colors, lighting, and motion all work perfectly. Very nicely done.

You get a good sense of the passion he has for his song and at the same time, the movement of the audience.

As interesting as this shot is I'm not fond of it. I loks well enough like abstract which I don't have a problem with usually but there is something about this shot that I just don't like. It has amazing color range and I like the way the microphone stand is in focus. This photo looks like something I'd see on a CD cover/jacket. It fits the challenge well and the yellow glimmer puts a almost flame like feature on the guitar. Good luck in this challenge. <6>

Like how his face and expression are so clear even though there's still clear motion. Very emotive.

Awesome "electric" colors! And with all this color and other business I am still drawn to his face...nicely composed.
