Default General Gig Photography Critique

Hey guys on my flickr page I posted a gig i covered for a local Bahraini Rock band that was in existence since the 70s but relaunched with new members, I was fortunate enough to be the ONLY press pass holder for their comeback event and took some shots, I posted some on the flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/fareedamin/ and would appreciate your comments in general. Thanks.

Nice shots there, not to offend you, but I think there are some compositional errors in some, but I think I will leave that to the expert on here. You should post it on the main performing arts section to get some feedback

Thanks, the main reason I want critiquing is to improve, I wanna be able to make it to bigger venues and concerts so I need to show my work

Yeah, there are definitely some composition errors. Most shots of the guitarist and bassist have portions of the guitars cut off. Many have the person's head smack-dead-center in the photo.

I actually enjoyed your photos taken around the UAE. Been a long time since I was there..

And also the singer with the microphone dead centre in their face is not really good imo
