This is Shawn Barker who does a terrific impression of Johnny Cash and even has a striking resemblance to the late singer in his early years. Barker performed with a wonderful backup band and if you didn't know Johnny had gone to that big Country Music Hall of Fame in the sky, you'd swear he was performing still. I thought the strap made a good leading line and the guitar and mike circle around to complete the line and lead you to the face.....I think! While the image may be a bit soft with the noise reduction, I liked how it turned out. :-) CJ

I forgot about the strap as that's a leading line really init:-) Well done Carole.

This was shot outside of the dates for this challenge, you can't fool me Carole Johnny Cash kicked the bucket ages ago.
In one way the softness may be helping this to be a leading line picy because if he was sharper I think my eyes would have gone straight for his face & not look so much at the guitar neck or mic as a leading line. If this was shot more from the right side it would have reinforced the leading line of the guitar neck. You did really well for a girl wiv such a manly shot like this:-) what's his name Carole his face looks familiar?

Nice shot from the audience. Looks like a fun show. If you used a lot of noise reduction, I think it would be okay to use less so that the details are crisper.
