[bsanderson]

Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY 12/16/06
Rainer Maria is a popular Emo band who are calling it quits after 11 years in the music biz. This show was billed as their "farewell" show although they did perform one more time the next night at a smaller venue.

The next two are far from technically perfect but I like them a lot. I'd be interested in getting your opinion of them.

They don't sound it either, but they've been tagged with that label since they started.

#1 would have been nice, if it weren't OoF.
#2: Nice, but crop off the second person.
#3: Nice. Maybe crop a bit tighter: Now the cutting of the bass head and arm look accidental. Make it 'deliberate'.
#4: Too dark or not enough contrast.
#5: Nice. Bit soft?
#6: Nice
#7: Head? Don't know if I mind.
#8: Timeing not right: IMO the head shouldn't be in front of the head ;)

Ah, more of the Bowery Boys and Gals...

Three and six have the appealing looks and lighting for me..while Number 1 is a pretty good action shot...

8 has some merit, the creative idea is definitely there, if cropped further from the right...
