[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I earlier posted a shot of just the kid who plays dobro. These are some of the other guys he was playing with that same night. It seems like the area in which we live produces an amazing number of brilliant musicians. The guy in the ballcap playing banjo is currently on tour in England with his brother, Kate Lissauer and a bass player from home on the Piney Woods tour. He is fond of telling people there is no way we listening could be having as much fun as they do playing. From the looks of those smiles, he may be right.
(I sometimes wonder why I have a hard time getting a good shot when I am at the bar listening to these guys play, but I drink a few beers while I'm at it..lol)

Hi Shelly,
Wonderful capture of these happy musicians plying their skill to these traditional blue grass instruments. The slight blurr brings nice action to this scene that is shot in excellent light. The colors are warm and the smiles genuine.
Regards, Tom

YEAH!
IMNAAHO (in my not at all humble opinion, take note!) this is the most appropriate critique I can come upon with!
Cheers!
Fulvio.

Hi Dear Shelly,

A few beers, country music, and life turns the moods....
Excellent is this moment.
The party time... the perfect mood you had when you were part of the show.
I feel the guitar, the words, laughs there...
All the best..
Enjoy!!!!!

Hi dear Shelly,

nice bar, nice guys, with original instruments I like to see that for the first time. I offer one another beer. Cheers!

Hello Shelly

We invite your taking several beers with me and that the world would we.

The picture is very welcoming, striking, and it shows that every actor enjoys much for your time.

The soft tones, fills the stage with warmth and there is a good balance in it. It is not or is apparently mine, but I think it presents a bit of noise, but anyway not to be a nice job. Health!

Hi Shelly,
Nice party atmosphere you got here. Love the smiles, love the feel. Nice POV even after the beers :)!

Hi Shelly,
Reminds of my local pub at it's best, when there is a band, in addition to usual boozers. Beer bottles add authenticity. I can imagine sounds of 'Country Roads'. Well done on low light. A pity that stage lights have that greenish cast.

Hi Shelly, A very nice simple photo of these men strumming away the time for the pleasure of others, a great capture of traditional country music, this has a slow peaceful mood, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Yup. The beers will do it everytime. Nicely done. You caught them well and the slight softness works here. I'm listening to some music while I sit here and it could be these guys as I can here a guitar, dobro and accoustic and a bass.
TFS smileys later.

Hi dearest
Thats great for this one, just the soud is missing :)
I suggest you to try to use your camera white balance.
I hope your home was not so far from the bar :)
Cheers.

Hi Shelly

Very nicely captured moment. You have nicely captured the happy moment of the musician. It seems that they are all enjoying their music. Nice composition and a great timing.

Regards,

Lopshang.
