I didn't want to make it 84. To me, it's too dark. The thing that stands out the most is the white background.

Yeah. Same for me here. It is a wonderful idea but the shot is just a bit too dark. It had all the elements of a great photo other than that though.

Yep, I agree. It's on the dark side. I think you can fix it a little in PS. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice and I like the original version. BTW don't feel slighted when you do not receive comments here. If it's comments and criticisms that you are after try posting you work in the "Critique Corner" section.

I hope you don't get offended by what I said, the composition was great. It's hard to shoot in the shadows when the background is so bright.

no it cool i didn't get offended, critisism is always good because it teaches you, good or bad, the original picture wasn realy in the shadow, i just darkened it to have the body more of a siluate(sp) and your focus was on the instruments, them it jumped to what the musician was doing
