You would be hard pressed to find a more attractive sound machine.
Could you tone down the white lights and get rid of the white streak at the lower right edge?

Lots of wonderful stuff going on in this. There are many ways to increase the focus on your two central people without losing the atmosphere. Using one of those might increase the impact of this nice capture. I have tried one but hesitate to post without your permission.

I do not normally shoot this kind of image but admire those that take it on!

Nice one John

Yes a good shot which was obviously taken in difficult conditions.

Cropping tighter at the top, and possibly going square, would concentrate more on the main subjects; but all that 'out of focus junk' above them seems to add a bit of real life atmosphere.

Hi William,

Thanks for commenting and spotting the crude crop.

Hi Geoff,

I had a tighter crop similar to what you are suggesting, but as you saw the neon was just begging to be included. Thanks for commenting.

A slightly darker version with edits as suggested by William.

IMO you have darkened the dark areas too much John. The stairs , the tree and the people in the BG are almost lost. I would make them more visible , because IMO the environment adds to the image. The performers look good though

Hi Binnur,

I thought the darker version added more POP to the performers, I'll correct. Thanks for commenting.

Only the dark areas are too dark John, the rest of the image seems OK
