Wild and super dynamic image. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.
08/24/2005 03:10:57 AM
I gave this a 10 - those that gave it lower than a 4 were out of their minds...
08/24/2005 03:07:50 AM
Great shot... deserved a higher place IMO.
08/24/2005 02:17:42 AM
wow, 24 tens..! This was my favorite, it has so much strength of composition and movement..congratulations on eleventh place...still feel it should have made top 5.
08/24/2005 01:38:10 AM

My next goal will be to make the top ten. :)

Graet composition. Best yet. 10
08/23/2005 05:22:04 PM
Fantastic shot and very dramatic...I like the isolation of subject against the foggy background, subtle use of color;expression is excellent as is hair movement..ok, back for umpteenth look: this is my favorite..10
08/23/2005 07:03:34 AM
Nice action of the hair
08/22/2005 02:45:10 PM
IMHO I would have cut out the bottom of the stage. 7
08/22/2005 01:27:47 AM
This one came out well; you get the feeling of the intensity of the music.
08/21/2005 02:46:56 PM
You've captured the energy going on here very well. I'm an old fart and doubt I'd like the music, but I love the photo.
08/21/2005 12:14:49 PM
Excellent. Great shot, excellent timing.
08/21/2005 11:13:13 AM
well done. nice metal feel.
08/21/2005 10:35:27 AM
An on the money capture. Great poster quality. Bumping up.
08/21/2005 06:23:06 AM
grate shot
08/20/2005 08:14:35 PM
He looks like a lion! Looks like you were really close to the stage. His hair is cool!
08/20/2005 06:21:14 PM
Lots of metal energy here I like the shot but the thing with the red cap kills this image.
08/20/2005 04:32:57 PM
Don't know this band. They must pretty bad. Your photograph is very effective, however. I don't mind the distracting equipment at the bottom; it reinforces the 'live' feel. 7
08/20/2005 12:17:24 PM
Yikes! I'm scared!

I like the stop motion of the hair. Very good.
08/20/2005 08:37:27 AM
crazy lookin' band....love the shot
08/19/2005 05:22:23 PM
This is one of my favorites for this challenge. Great shot!
08/19/2005 09:59:25 AM
This guy is a bad ass ;-) good shot
08/19/2005 08:24:26 AM
Daaaaam, that is some crazy hair. Excellent catpure of a live performance!
08/18/2005 11:38:27 PM
nice moment! the only thing that would make it better is to crop in closer and get those distracting amps out of the way.
08/18/2005 09:39:55 PM
Looks very professional. Could easily see this in a fan magazine. Excellent lighting.
08/18/2005 02:32:25 PM
wow, intense shot. good capture of the moment
08/18/2005 07:51:54 AM
great capture and my pick for a ribbon!
08/18/2005 07:47:32 AM
ROOOOCK ON!!!!!!!
08/18/2005 06:11:50 AM
Brilliant... wondeful composition.
08/18/2005 05:13:28 AM
Great shot! The stop motion of the hair and the, the expression on the fact and just overall style ae amazing. Definitely a 10 and should be a top 3 finish.
08/17/2005 09:25:31 PM
rock on!!!
08/17/2005 08:07:20 PM
I like the way you froze the action.
08/17/2005 06:01:00 PM
Great movement. THis is really well done. I think you could have cropped out the stage edge and that red and black thing on the ground, and still had a great shot.
08/17/2005 04:08:04 PM
great expression, nice stop action on the hair. Rock on! ;)
08/17/2005 09:39:04 AM
wOw WoW wOw

Great shot, great hair, good facial capture, great subject, great smoke, good lighting. I'm going to give you a 9. And I think if you were to crop the bottom ledge out and experiment with saturation so as to desaturate the red cap in the center then you'd have a shot at a 10.
08/17/2005 09:11:35 AM
Looks like quite a character. Good exposure, colour balance is good, a competent shot. Does strike me as a little unimaginative though, most decent photographers would have got a similar shot from the pit here. Did you take a stepladder? If not, this could have helped you get his feet and avoid including the edge of the stage.
08/17/2005 08:56:03 AM
SPECTACULAR!
08/17/2005 08:29:40 AM
Nice shot. Could use some more contrast. 7
08/17/2005 08:27:59 AM
Excellent! Great mood. 10
08/17/2005 08:05:04 AM
Scariest pic so far. I love the lighting and mood in this pic. I like the capture of motion in the hair. Good job.
08/17/2005 07:58:48 AM
Fantastic capture. Background is wonderful, super action. The blownout sky is no biggie - 10.
08/17/2005 07:41:34 AM
Nothing says "heavy metal" like spikes, makeup, and flailing hair. Nice "live" feel. I like the lighting in the back, but it's a bummer the equipment is slightly distracting (especially that thing with the red cap. Were this advanced editing, you could have taken care of it, so I won't hold it against you...) 9.
08/17/2005 06:34:50 AM
Nice action shot!
08/17/2005 03:54:44 AM
Great rock'n roll attitude!
08/17/2005 02:10:01 AM
just what I thought of when thinking of live music. Head bangin' guitars.
08/17/2005 01:19:53 AM
uber cool! This really rocks! 10 (GO LIVEFOTO!!)
08/17/2005 01:16:26 AM
Timely capture.
08/17/2005 12:22:46 AM
just LOVE the hair!!!!! and the pose, and it screams hard music. The only thing I don't like is the stage, it's to distracting, an much to blurry. If you cut that of, just above the stick with the red, it would be great :)
08/16/2005 10:50:59 PM
Awesome shot! Looks like some pretty heavy stuff!
08/16/2005 09:16:30 PM
A little more contrast would have bumped up a point for me. Otherwise one of the better ones in the challenge I've seen so far. Great action.
