This is a very cool photo. I love the red lighting in the background surrounding his head and face. Nice capture.

The noise is a little distracting. However, this is extremely hard to avoid when taking concert photos. I think the image would be better suited if the area around his shirt were black instead, the fill light there doesn't do a lot for the image and is creating most of the noise I think. I think the image would be more clear as a full silhouette of the man in front of the red light. Depending on how much processing you did though, that may not even be possible.

It's a good composition and a nice image.

A good tip for reducing noise is a 3rd party programme called Noise Ninja. It can have an amazing effect on images such as this that need just a little sprucing up. The backlighting on this is superb.

Brilliant silhouette. I love the details of the hair and beard, almost electric. It hints at what must have been an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing!

I think this is a very effective photo, the silhouette with a red glow makes it more emotional and I like that.

Thanks guys! Jordan, you're right about the noise. Looking over it now, I think I may kill alot of the highlights and just make it a straight black silhouette since for me, the light caught in his hair is what really makes the photo.
