I think this one’s the best of the concert photography I had done recently. The smoke machine made for a bit of a challenge to shoot through, and this shot certainly isn’t good enough for my portfolio, but it’s good enough I could put it out here.

Thanks for seeing my work!

I've looked at the comments where people are cropping and adjusting this to "fix" it and I think it's better as the original, by far. The way the fog washes it out is a feature, not a bug. The cropping with the focus in the dead centre works - moving the figure to the right third might be a more traditional thing to do but this is good the way it is. The cropping also allows the red patch in the top-right, and the contrasting blue in the bottom-left to be part of the story. It's good the way it is.
