    Shout!

    This is a Beatles tribute band called Shout!. Saw them yesterday at a local park, and I gotta say, they're darned good. I added a border to this shot. Is it ok? Also it's cropped a bit tight on the sides as I wanted to get rid of some extraneous items, so that's why. C & C welcome.

    Re: Shout!

    It's a straightforward shot, nothing special, nothing bad. The border seems OK to me, and also appropriate as they are wearing black. I would crop out some of that space above their heads though cause it doesn't add anything (and makes them seem on the short side, but maybe they are?)

    Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.

    #1 It makes them look frozen and fat.
    #2 The drum says "hout!" so you should have moved to your right a tad.
    #3 I'm thinking close-ups and longer exposures to get some movement would have been better.

    Thanks MB.......points taken. I haven't gotten the hang of shooting musicians yet, and this was my first 'band shot', so I've a lot to learn.
