Hi Matej thanks for the comments. This picture was using my telephoto lens! I agree about the kid but I felt it would far too much work to remove him. I also took about 20 others of this same setting but they were blurred and that includes the close ups. I was very disappointed with that as the setting was superb. That is photography! Also the first time using the new lens ? Doh!
This colour version is quite fine I think. Great expressions of the musicians. The headless, armless kid is a distraction. You handled the lighting well.
It's a nice setting indeed. I hope you have some close-ups of the musicians while playing!
Looks like a lovely afternoon musical. The photograph captures the good feelings and joy everyone is feeling. Excellent work, sharp, good color, DOF, composition. Well done.
