interesting look, although it's not flattering. Were you going for that
of are you having monitor problems? It's not necessarily wrong, and it
works better here than on the previous shot, but I'm wondering if it's
intentional. If you're not seeing an extremely high contrast image with
white skin against blacks, you need to adjust your monitor.
Hi, Paul,
Thanks for the kind words. The original print is about the same tone (I tried to get the tone as close to the print as I could). Last night's was pretty contrasty, so I tried to tone it down again for this photo.
But, that's pretty much the way she looks on stage. Black dress, very white skin. The lighting pretty much emphasizes that, although this venue had better lighting than most of the bars in which I've photographed the group in the past.
However, I'd say that the photo captures the look of her (and her group) on stage, in concert.
Again, thanks for commenting, both tonight and last night.
cheers, frank
