I think the first one is really nice. In my opinion (as a musician), I think you could be a little lower on the choral shots to eliminate some "useless" space above the heads to get a more centered shot of them holding their music.

I like the expression in the 1st one. On #2 and 3 I would crop tighter; loose the shoulder on the left in #2, loose the bit of sleeve left, and the arm right in #3 Both could also be cropped closer at the top, so aspect ratio would remain teh same.
Apart from that, expressions also quite nice. I do have some trouble with the WB // skin tones however...

I'm not fond of the first one, the lights hanging from the ceiling I find distracting, but technically very good and you caught a great expression and gesture - the quintessential conductor.

On the others I commend you for getting the exposure right. Black tuxes and dresses have spelled trouble for me in similar settings. Cropping as Rene' suggests would help.

[Mike Bell]

Have to agree with Curtis. The first one captures a great expression - it's just such a shame about those lights! Cropping would improve the others as it's the central face that carries the shot's impact.

I know what musicians are like when performing, and even rehearsing - I married one! :lol: You have to take what opportunities arise. You cannot take over and order them to move to a better backbround! :lol:

Well done getting these ones!:)
