What can I say? As usual: Very nice. Love the first 'Zen Café' shot!

[DwightMcCann]

#3 and #6 are marvelous effects. Nice job.

Best of the best, most of these are...

Good colorful lighting, really helps...You obviously took the opportunity (rare) to master several mesmerizing shots...

#2 lighting is great, however, the hair covered face is so, so...

Last one, the gray pic, helps set the others off as a set...but, stand alone, the gray one is just good...

There, you have mine opinion...hopefully I'll get a lighting opportunity, a band like yours and the luck that I would need to produce something of this artistry...Kudos to you...:D

Thanks guys!

That's my favorite too. I like how the hands sort of create flame-like shapes (although the colors associated with fire are on the background, sort of inverted). That's the sort of picture that I mostly aim to: a sort of out-of-this-world-feeling. My thinking is that the true fans of a band will be in a whole different universe during their favourite band's gig, so why should the photos look like they were taken on planet Earth? :)

#2 lighting is great, however, the hair covered face is so, so...

Basically, except for rather rare moments the hair covering his face couldn't be helped (I didn't have scissors with me...), anyway in that picture it bothers me too, since there is no separation from the background.

Ooh, I really like all of these. I think you've captured the feel of the bands well...
