Sufjan Stevens playing banjo


I stumbled upon this image a few days ago. It was originally too small to be considered for FP, but the photographer recently uploaded a higher-res version.

I understand that in an ideal world, there are a few things that could be fixed in this photo, but for the most part these are known limitations that are particular to concert photography. These issues include: That said, I still think that [with a little touch-up], this could be FP because:
 * Lighting does not highlight the face well enough (Maybe this can be fixed with some photoshop?)
 * Because of this, thumbnail image does not show subject well if it's not big enough.
 * It is a little out-of-focus around the hands, or possibly blurry due to the motion of playing the banjo
 * It is also somewhat grainy, due to the [necessarily] high ISO setting (800)
 * The composition is fantastic - the colors incredible, the placement is artistic, the focus is great
 * The subject is very well depicted. I've never really listened to Sufjan Stevens before, so I listened to a few tracks on iTunes.  His music is very solemn, quiet, and thoughtful.  The look on his face is very illustrative of this type of music.

This image is listed on the article for Sufjan Stevens, and was taken by User:Jlencion.

 * Second and support - have I got the format right? I don't know anything about the picture peer review process, but was struck by the beauty of this photograph and wanted to compliment its creator. Dybryd 04:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - yes, very nice; might benefit from a bit of a gamma adjustment to make the fact brighter. Picture Peer Review seems pretty much dead, so I'd recommend nominating it over at WP:FPC to get proper feedback on it. TSP 17:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
