    I don't know about the selective color but I like the composition.

    A little twist... seems the guitar player should be colored for emphasis. Looks like a painting back there, some famous painter's style, but I can't quite place it.

    I think also that if you lighten the shadows, adjust the midtone contrast, and maybe do a bit with levels youll be able to make the guitar player stand out more and be sharper.
    I tried it in pse 6 and it looked better to me.

    I would like to see your version. I have a pretty basic editing program but would love to see what can be produced with PS.

    Re: as the guitar was warming up...

    I played with midtone contrast then went to levels.
    Then in levels, I used the white eye dropper on the white tee shirt in mirror and then that was too much so decreased whites to 225.
    I also used the spot healing brush to get rid of the lights at the top.
    Some might find his face to shiny but I'm putting it down to sweat.
