Hi Maciej
I love the motion and movement and colours in this one. And the fact that it has musicians as subject of course.
Nice atmosphere.Long exposure only ore did you use another technique?
Greetings Albrecht

Yes, apparently they do rock, you photo certainly does a good job of showing it, mostly from the swirling patterns of light and that shocking pink guitar strap.
So the photo is quitegood, but my taste would have liked more blur and movement and action and contrast here, the two guys profiles just look too normal and flat in between the busy surroundings, I think the photo looses something from that.
Without having any experience with this kind of photography I venture to guess that flash synchronised with the second shutter curtain and a slower shutter speed might give more of the expression that I would seek in this kind of situation.
So, I'll stand at a light green smiley mostly because I know that you are an accomplished photographer so the bar is higher for you ;-)
Still, these are just a reflection of my preferences, but I read over and over on the forum that we are supposed to give constructive critiques, so there you are, at the receiving end of such an attempt, apologies.

Splendid one Maciej, almost irreal. Oniric. 70īs mood about the visual style.

Hey Maciek, this is superb..this photo rocks by itself.. great composition indeed.. i love all those patch of colors here and there..

this is with 1/4 sec ?? and without tripod.. really great i think..and i could see u used a flash too.. is it a separate flash or the one comes with camera ?? i could not understand about the things here..(excuse me cos i am a learner )with ISO1600,f/4.5, 1/4 sec and with a flash..i think some more light was there in the show too... how it could not get overexposed ??

I've just read Torben's comment and even though I also think that the bar is higher for you, this one is once again up to your level and status. Not a simple photograph, nor a an hasardous result. This is just another very good one in the magician series.

This is a wonderful trio of images Maciek with kaliedoscopic mix of colors and shapes. The primary image does strike me as a bit static, which may be what Torben is commenting upon. The other two images both convey the obvious energy of the moment. Together I enjoy them immensely. Your work in close is really exciting, very different from what you've given us from Southeast Asia and India. I love them both but I can especially appreciate this because it is less dependent on the natural charm and beauty of an exotic environment. This demands more of the photographer in terms of vision and creativity. I applaud what you're doing.
