Thanks for the comment, Paul. Yes, her arm especially is blown out a bit. It's not so objectionable on the print, but I should really have toned it down a bit for the web. Maybe I will. The high contrast thing was pretty much dictated by the harsh stage lighting, but I do like the look of it. The show on Saturday night (at the CD release party) had more elaborate lighting (it was at the same venue), which I think will be much less harsh. I was shooting with Neopan 1600 pushed a stop again, but I think the results will look much different due to the lighting. We'll see. Thanks again for your comments.
