G'day Justin,

Nice shot. I'm sure the band will be pleased with it.

The lighting and colour is great. Only negative would be the guys hand leaves the frame on the right hand side. This isn't a biggy though.

All in all, a great shot.

Cheers
Jeremy

Pity it isn't exactely symmetrical. Apart from that: NiceI agree René, but I only noticed that an hour later and the backlight from outside had changed enough that I couldn't re-create that same light effect. However, I'm getting them back there in a week or two for another go at it.

Wow, those guys are right outta the 70s, good shot man, great idea with the backlighting.

I am particularly impressed by capture of expressions in that they all match pretty well: no one looking goofy, no one looking off, no one with a strong expression differing from the rest, etc. I also like it. I did touch it to try to bring just tiny, tiny bit more contrast to the faces which seem too flat ... I consider faces primarily important and often sacrifice "full dynamic range" or "loss of detail" to some improvement in faces.

I like the asymmetry.
