Thanks, Bruce, I'm pretty new to shooting concerts, and I'm getting lots of good ideas from those commenting, that I can use for next time. I could tone down the spot a bit, I guess, but honestly, I kind of like it the way it is, WRT intensity. Too bad it was down there, but I didn't have any input WRT lighting of the venue or show <g>. I agree that it's placement didn't work for my photo as well as something higher might have. And, as far as the bright spots behind her, as I just mentioned to Boris, burning them might render them less objectionable (being morally opposed to cloning and all - for my pix that is, I pass no judgement on what others do to make their photos look good). Thanks again for your suggestions - I'll try to keep them in mind for next time. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
