Interesting portrait....The soft focusing and lighting are very nice...

Fred, you are the kind of new member I really like- you write a heck of a lot of critiques and really seem like you want to be a community member, not a leech. But shots like this just don't get too much attention on this site. Try uploading some Brazilian outdoor scenes, or more traditional musical performers and you'll probably get more feedback.

That aside, this shot is not bad. It's out of focus, but with the low light and the speed that is understandable (that doesn't mean I forgive it, just that I understand). The expression is really good, the pose, well caught, the colors- very rock band in a smoky club-esque. Good work, and keep 'em coming, but if you want more attention for your work, try loading up something a bit more "travel" oriented.

Your timing is great, and you captured a thoughtful yet energetic moment. Isolating the figure from other figures and background elements make the pose of your subject even stronger. Given the subject matter, the moody blur and color cast are fine. Concert photography is difficult, and you've managed a nice shot.

I like this genre, and this is a nice example. Did you try selling it to her as a poster? (Or maybe a free gift, as you wish). She is caught in a nice pose, and the whole composition just says Nightclub!
