2nd - Music - Colin

Life wouldn't be the same without the gift of Music...

Music makes long motorway journeys bearable, domestic tasks less of a chore

Classical, rock, blues, progressive, punk or even country & western (at a pinch)

Nice idea Colin, I like it. Thought about grafting a more fancy background on? Alistair

Great composition. I think this would be outstanding with a little more lighting. Additional fill on the right and rim lighting from the year would make this entourage look truly epic! Does his amp go to 11?

Wouldn't life be a huge drag without music!! My father was a great singer. He sang in a barber shop quartet and led the church choir and I heard singing in my house from the time I was born. My kids grew up with singing in our house and my grandkids lives are full of music too. It's great isn't it! I love your photo, especially the smiles!

Great way to visualize the gift of music. And if you have all those youngsters under your roof, im sure a varied taste of music helps... (But you didn't mention Rap/Hip Hop, so maybe not) ?

The tableau composition here is excellent! They look like they're having a blast posing for you. And I appreciate your subject choice, too. Music is the soul's healer, so often, in times of greatest stress. I couldn't pass a single day without song of some kind.

Laugh is appropriate for youngsters. I couldn't imagine them with serious look on that picture.
This way it looks spontaneous.

I did a photo shoot for the band my son is in, no charming required.

This is supposed to a tableau arrangement based on the right hand side of the painting “The Raft of the Medusa”, a sort of music will save us idea, but couldn’t get all of them to be serious at the same time and it all descended into laughter and chaos fairly rapidly. Good fun trying though :-)

You must be quite a charmer to get them all to join in and still make it fun. The guy with the guitar looks a bit unsteady :-)
