Greetings from the Critique Club!
The message
I think this photo nicely conveys the passion and excitement of a guitar concert. It doesn't really say "extraordinary" to me; the sound of the guitar can't really be expressed visually. But the mood comes through loud and clear!
Creative choices
The minimalist approach works well here; the silhouetted guitar, rim-lit player, and bright lights are all that's needed to tell the story. The red color and digital noise effectively set the mood. I would have preferred the black space in front of him, where I can imagine the audience, rather than behind him.
Technical aspects
Exposure is just right to achieve the desired effect. Focus is perfect. There are a few stray light spots, but removing them wasn't possible for this challenge and they frankly don't detract from the image. |

| I don't see anything extraordinary in this scene. Maybe if he were lighting is guitar on fire? Seriously, it's a middling night club shot. It could use sharper focus (I know this is difficult in this environment). I like the way the subject is limned with red light. |

| The action shows the guitarist really getting into his work. I think the negative space behind him should be in front of him. |
