Montreux Jazz Festival 2011

Great images, well executed.

As a non Jazz enthusiast I did get a little bored as the vast majority are head and upper body shots tightly cropped of a single artist with their instrument. Too keep my interest I would have liked to have seen more variety in the expressions, poses, angles and a lot more shots with wider framing incorporating multiple artists, lighting, stage, audience and general ambience. For example the Jack Savoretti shot (mid 70s I think) was a little different than the rest and stood out. I was hoping for more but they did not materialise.

However that's just my observation and does not mean that your images are not excellent and well framed, exposed and executed. I also appreciate that you would have been restricted from the audience.
