C&C appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Not bad mate, although if you embed the images it makes critique (and people following the critique) easier/better.

The first is a little empty for me. A nice tight crop could and some levels could really pull it out.

I like the shot with the two of them.

Nice content on the last, but a little dark. Maybe lighten off a little.

All of your shots are centre focused, so maybe try some crops to take the focus away from the middle.

Agree with the above comments.
Also, they seem a bit soft. Motion blur?

Hello.

Yup - pretty please embed the images.

I steal time out of my day to come and visit here - and I just can't be surfing all over to find them.

Hope to see some on here soon!

Thanks for the comments. I am going to keep working on these and a few others from the concert, trying to remember levels and cropping. I rarely get to show off, and I forget all the basics so often, so thanks all for reminding me. Please keep up the positive critiques.

I tried my hand at a different crop and also tried upping the levels to lighten the face more. Any good?

Yep. Quite okay.
Still a bit soft I think (bass looks sharper then face?), but nice otherwise. Too bad the singer is hiding behind the mic...

[InspiredGraphix]

Yeah, better, but agree with Rene.
