Thumb is too near the edge of the frame, and the tip has been slightly cropped off. Composition doesn't work for me with the hand centred in the shot. Dof works well. Doesn't really convey an atmosphere of live music to me, this could have been taken anywhere. White balance is too orange.

it's a hand on a guitar....not too memorable...and could use some sharper focus.

Good idea, not too sure about the lighting here though.

Nice - I'd desat the yellow and red so his skin isn't so orange. I know stage lights do that, but I might find it a bit more appealing that way. I'd bring up the focus on the fingers too.
