Tori Amos performing live on the Summer of Sin tour at the Morsani Hall in Tampa, FL 8/11/2005. Shot from Row HH (10th row) and the first time shooting with a Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM lense.

This is my first DP challenge entry. I've only had the camera for about a month and still learning :) Image was cropped, level adjusted and a simple border added in Photoshop.

Lucky you! I love Tori Amos.
I like how she looks very absorbed in her performance, but I would have preferred to see her eyes...

Excellent shot of Tori.....Perfect 10

nice capture - could be a little sharper on her face - but I know how difficult this can be. 7

i know this is picky but I don't like the microphone going into the back of her head, it really kills this for me. Also why the border, it really wasn't needed on this hot. 8.

she's feeling the music...

great colors, composition and texture
08/20/2005 03:49:40 PM
nice frame i really like it

Nice shot, captures Tori well. Focus looks very slightly off though.
08/20/2005 11:36:09 AM
This should be a ten! It IS Tori, after all! :)

great colors but focus is off & mic looks like its sticking out of the side of her head,,, unsure if that's what you were trying for.

I'm a huge Tori fan, so of course I like this. Great shot!
08/18/2005 09:55:12 PM
Not really a very flattering pose and the mirophone sticking out the back of her head doesn't help. Nice lighting, though.
08/18/2005 05:39:24 PM
could have used to crop a little more out of the right side, enough to still keep tori out of the center. good shot.
08/18/2005 02:12:27 PM
Good capture, but i'm not too keen on the border. If i'm being REALLY picky then probably a bit too much black on the right of the shot, but then again it'd be perfect for a caption or tour date listing. Good work 8

Love Tori Amos, but not with a mic stuck in her head. ;)
08/17/2005 11:59:44 AM
great but the other microphone growing out of the back of her head is a bit distracting

That Tori, she's such a freak. I'm not sure where she learned to keep her legs open while playing the piano, but she does that everywhere. Good capture though. Maybe bring the piano out just a little more from the background as it helps define the performer (meaning we associate Tori with a piano).
08/17/2005 09:24:26 AM
You lucky dog, getting to see Tori in concert is a real treat.
08/17/2005 09:11:03 AM
wow, great passionate energized moment (and for a pianist)...a bit provactive to boot. A little sharper focus on face and a touch more distinguishment on piano would be a plus
08/17/2005 05:30:17 AM
Beautiful
08/17/2005 03:34:43 AM
Oh, so almost. The microphone stuck in the side of her head, like an unhappy audience member just had enough and couldn't take any more, stabbing her in the head lets this down badly. White balance seems a bit off.

Well done.
