I also like the processing on this one. the noise from the 800 iso works particularly well. good job. - andrew

Nice shot Andy. Band name on the picture is not required. Only requirements are the picture is square and the band name is the title of the picture using the 3 letter CTF. theFly

I have no problem at all with the title. In fact, I think it reflects the ironic tone that many groups today adopt in naming themselves. There's a local group called "The Villa Jidiots." I've never heard them, but I have to laugh each time I see their name in print. BTW good image, also.

Abs, no grain, jst iso 800.
Shu, in defence of the title. Many bands have weird names and weird album covers. Normally, bands dont illustrate their names on the cover, but this challenge is to do that or at least represent the band on the cover. Think of CTF as being an alternative rock band. They are not the act on front (Cancan dancers backstage) but the ambiance of the title is in keeping with the title of the album.

This is a difficult challenge because of the above, but an interesting one. I cannot find a single album in my limited collection where the band name is the source of the cover design unless it is a band portrait. One of the three dancers above is a friend and they are no fools. My original Title was Cast of Talented Fools, but i didn't like the of being there.

Impressionist feel to this but somehow I think that part of the title "fools" is a bit harsh!
Great visual appeal! shu

the lighting and grainy treatment (or noise?) do give this shot a "classic" feel. a nice one, Andy. -Abstract
