Thanks for your comments, Patricia. When I saw it, I thought it would have been nice to get the whole trumpet bell in there as well. When I was shooting, I was concentrating on betting a moment when Tim and his guitar player (and the guitar) were in just the right positions. My thought was that the bell would be fully in the frame, but maybe he moved it down at the last second, or maybe I was just wrong. There's enough right about the photo that it's not a bother to me, but you're right, that would be one area of improvement. I shot about 25 or 30 more that night, on a roll exposed at 3200 ISO (most without flash). I still have to finish that roll. I did have a wide angle lens with me. I don't remember exactly what other shots I might have taken, because it was almost a month ago, and it was at a bar, after all... <vbg> Thanks for your thoughts and comments. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
