I went to an outdoor concert over the weekend, and was able to work my way to the rear of the stage. The lighting on the drum kit was much better ( not washed out ) from the backside, and the darkness of being outside helped with the background.

Nice composition. Like the way his shirt dissolves into the background. What kills it is that it's oversharpened.

I would have liked to see the drummer a bit sharper and prhaps the instruments as well...
nevertheless a 9 for me!

Beautiful color. Would have liked to have seen more emotion though. Gave it 7.

A wonderful warm take. Bumping up.

A really good drummer shot. It's a good (if almost inevtiable) composition, but the lighting and the exposure have lifted it above the ordinary. 7

i like the frame really nice, good luck

Excellent lighting, except for the drummer's head. Looks like there was some post-processing done on this photo that might have effected it. Looks strange and artifact"y". The rest of the picture, especially the drums, looks great. 7

Great colours, perfect motion blur and brilliantly sharp. Nice and simple composition but what more could you ask for? A fantastically executed live music shot... well done.

Wonderful shot with superb composition, but there's a very strange filtered effect I don't like at all. Shame, as otherwise it's one of the better drummer photos I've come across.
