Percussion

From the Henri Texier concert at the Limoges jazz festival

Superb!

We are not supposed to like brighter areas at the edges of the frame but the 3 ellipses top left guide you nicely into the picture. Perhaps reduce the brightness of the baseball cap just a little?

[Geoff F]

I am of the same opinion as Bill. Those brighter areas in the top left corner are sufficiently dull that they don't cause a problem.

[DanK]

I agree with Bill. Not only don't I find the lights problematic; I think they add nice lines.

However, as it is, the eyes (mine anyway) go to the snare drums, not the drummer. Why not dim those and then maybe brighten the face a tiny bit?

Yes I did wonder about the snare drums, but the title is "Percussion" so why not something that draws your attention in the centre of the image which is where they are? Just posing the question - personally I would tone them down a wee bit.
