A catch of Gary Peacock at the blue note. Flash not allowed, which worked out great and forced the blurring of his hands while soloing. Would this work better in 'embrace the blur'? Thanks for your comments on this - and any of my other photos. New to Vazaar and loving it so far.

yes-i do think this would work better in embrace the blur-great shot

yes, a great submission for "embrace the blur" definitelly :-)

Gary Peacock at the Blue Note. Critiques on a copy in Light and Shadows suggested I post it here. Thanks for any constructive comments!

Thanks much - have reposted in 'embrace the blur' now, but leaving it here for continued comments - please critique it knowing that it may not be in the perfect category ;) Thanks!

+1 , definitely much better in "embrace the blur"

Love it

It's great. It looks like a vintage photograph to me. Was this digital or film? It looks like a digital image with lots of noise reduction. I'd love to see the same image without as much of the noise reduction, just to contrast and compare.

You're spot on Owen; it's digital - no post-processing though. I will try and add a little noise; I like that idea, and thanks for a helpful comment.

Great composition !
Maybe better with a stronger contrast...

Nice compostion and tone but i think I would have like to see the bass(?) a little sharper.

Very nice...gives me a feel of the music!

This is just really great. The blur feels musical to me... fits perfectly.

Sweetness.

This is very good...I can hear the jazz. I love the musician's head, very surreal and abstract; it fits the genre of music.

Wonderful shot Toph! I've always enjoyed this photo.

This is such a nice photo - great comp. and great atmosphere. Truly, this is music to my eyes!

Best,
