Too much of the other person in the shot to begin with!

Hi – Good composition and beautifully lit.
Metering spot on for low light & moving subjects.

Small observation is that the hand is in focus rather than fiddlers face/eyes. Perhaps this is what you wanted?
A real nice one though.

thanks for your comments,

There proberly is too much of the other musician in the foreground, but I think that in some way it protrays what was going on, a very busy pub blasting with athosphere.

and i did try to focus on the fiddle rather than the player to try to “focus” on what was happening rather than who was there, if you understand….

thanks again.

Hi,

I can’t comment on the technical aspect of your photo because I don’t have the knowledge to do so yet.
I like the atmosphere and the little bit of leg showing adds some edge to it.
