Don't know how this will do. I borrowed a camera and when I took the first pic it said memory card was full. And so this is all I got. I think it looks strange that the beam of light doesn't seem to be coming from where I was except that the light that forms the circle which can only be seen from the source. Not much processing, levels, selective color, shadows/highlights, and selective sharpening and NI. Crop Resize, Save for Web.

Maybe a bug in the system, but I can't select "No Lens Specified" it always go to default when I refresh.
Post challenge:I can't believe how well this scored, about mid week it was a 5.5 and climbed the rest of the time. Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Well, i gave you your only ten!
I think that this is because i know how uncomfortable you must have been in a truss spot. And that your framing with the spot is better than the other op.
Seen loads of shows from this possition and never managed to take a pic. Well done.

Well my "9" was in the minority on this one. :( Still, a decent score.

i like the intersecting lights to create the interesting shapes - a high wire type of job - you can have it!

At first view my mind said, "this shot is backward". I've only see this from the front. Then I realized the different perspective was for a reason. Strong impact.

I love that shadow from the stage lights - now, how could you crop to show it off more?

Odd angle, interesting lighting .. I think I'd prefer more of a frontal view.

Great image. I love the creativity in the setup, and the lighting! I'd say 'Spot On'.

Great use of shadows; I like seeing a few of the audience.

The black object on the right takes a lot from this image.

That's a very interesting point of view! Nicely composed and lit, too (thanks to you).

It was hard to tell what this one was from the thumbnail. The shape looked sort of like an angel. Nice comp and good tones for such low light conditions.
