    This is a shot of Bill Henderson, the lead singer and guitar player of the band Chilliwack during a gig at a local Vancouver club. What do you guys think? Thanks.

    As good, if not better than a lot of the so called professional stuff I see in the music mags. I would clone out the thingy upper left. There is a little inevitable noise but it's not a problem.
    That's a fair old mouthful as he bends those notes!

    Thanks. That's my fave concert shot. And you know what, I never even noticed that thing in the upper left - I don't even know what it is LOL and now that you mention it, it seems out of place for sure. And yes, this guy is a pretty good guitar player and he really gets into a zone when he's doing a blistering solo.

    I think it needs to show all of the guitar.
    Other than that, it is a fine concert photograph.
    The moment is good as is the lighting.
    I had no idea, Chilliwack was still around. They have been gone, so long..... ;)

    Thanks, you're right about the guitar, I was right at the edge of the stage and I didn't have a wider lens, so I was dead in the water. Chilliwack's been around since the 60's and they didn't hit big internationally until My Girl then almost as quickly they faded but they're local here so they play a lot still ... www.gonegonegone.com ...

    Nice teeth! Your picture is very clear and in good focus. I don't think the image is very flattering of the musician though. He looks like someone is standing on his toe.

    Cheers,

    Thanks, it does look like he's in agony but hey, this is rock n' roll ;-)
