Hi Rob!

I am always fascinated when seing portraits of musicians (that's why I have created a theme "Music and dance" and I hope that you wouldn't mind if I included this one, too)! Excellent framing and composition, beautiful warm colours, but most important excellent depiction of their passion for music! Congratulations!

Groet, Hercules

Bonjour Rob,

Lumi鑢es tr鑣 bien captur閑s et ambiance live tr鑣 bien rendue. Une prise techniquement difficile � r閡ssir. Un petit dommage pour cette trompette un peu coup閑 au bas de l'image. Best regards, Daniel

Bonsoir, cher Rob,
Le jazz, c'est ce qui nous permet d'閏happer � la vie quotidienne.
[St閜hane Grappelli]
Le jazz c'est la musique en libert� ! � travers la composition, l'on per鏾it la concentration et la recherche permanente de cultiver un art qui ne peut laisser personne indiff閞ent.
Tr鑣 bon cadrage avec un moment parfaitement saisi.
Amiti閟.

Dag Rob,
Prachtige muzikanten foto.
The uitdrukkin gen zijn zeer sterk getroffen en de plaatsing van de twee ten opzichte van elkaar vind ik fantastisch. Het oranje en roze geeft er een goed kleuraccent aaan.
Groeten Gerrit

Hi Rob
Good idea for the link; we are able to hear the jazz sound.
Very interesting spectacle picture with warm lights.
I don't fell any noise with 1600 ISO.
Friendly regards.

Goedenavond Rob,

Jazz is niet echt mijn ding, maar af en toe mag het zeker.
Voor mij is de man rechts zeer mooi bezig, dit is het instrument waar we eventueel ook op dansen, niet op het instrument, maar op de muziek dat het maakt.
Zeker geen gemakkelijke foto met het purpere tegenlicht, maar u heeft dit schitterend opgelost met de man er deels voor te plaatsen.
Goede samenstelling, bedankt.

Goedenavond en tot wederhoren,
John.

Hi Rob,

Marvelous shot. I am really impressed by the sharpness taking into account that it is taken when it rather dark and I suppose these jazz musicians does not stand still. I also love the composition with one of the musicians very close and the other in the background. A superb photo job. Congratulations!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Rob,
a great moment of their contemplation for their entertainment and music. The presentation of one in front and one in the back with both their own facials impressions is well done with the background of the stage.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hoi Roc, ah een mooie jazz plaat, fraai vastgelegd die concentratie. Sfeervolle plaat, ook door de framing en het sterk grafische karakter (natuurlijk)!
Ik ken ze eerlijk gezegd niet (foei), ik ga 'ns luisteren.
Fijne week,
Bert

Hoi Rob,
als ik jazz hoor, ren ik heel hard weg... kan ik niets aan doen, ik krijg gelijk de zenuwen. Maar deze foto verdient niets dan lof. Prima kadrage, schitterende belichting & kleuren, zeer sfeervol. Chapeaux, vriend!
Ik wens je nog een fijne avond. Tot ziens,
Fulvio.

Hi Rob,
Eerst Berts koor, nu Riks band. Mooie warme kleuren voor deze compositie. En mooi om de concentratie op hun gebolde gezichten te zien.
Groeten,
Lars
