Allan, John and Chris,

Thank you for your compliments and critiques.

My first instinct is a true portrait, to isolate the musician (in this case) with extensive cropping, and create my own back drop. With this piece I was hoping to capture the mood of the room. My goal was to focus on the mandolin and subdue the backdrop. In retrospect (and after reading your comments) my first figurative post seems to be a little to busy.

Allan,
Thanks for you perspective. I may have tried to squeeze too much into this one. The background is not as vague as I had anticipated. I was trying to capture the room
