Basically, I still have to PP the stuff. Just few images. I would appreciate if you tell me are they make some feelings or not.

I like #2, but maybe crop the top and move the singer on the left side...

Three's a very nice drummer shot, but did you make sure (at RAW-conversion stage) that you're not clipping the red channel in the face? It matters especially since that may cause the face to be "flat" tone-wise.

I agree with you on the cropping of #1 ;D
I agree with Kalles comments on #3, and would like to add the same comments about #5. (very nice, but check for clipping)...

There were no clipping of channels, the drummer just got yellow light on his face. ^_^
Of course I did more shots of this drummer, but this one is most "demonic".
Actually, another one that I like about him:

(was postprocessing more pics today in train :)

Eeehm, the red channel is clipping: Try this: In PS, make a levels adjustment layer. Alt-click on the 'white' slider under the histogram ("input levels"). This will show all pixels that have a red value of 255 as red. That's almost the entire face...

Now I understand the issue. Next time when it comes to it, will try to fix red channel there! Maybe it would produce the better version.

Looking again, I'm not too sure abou the crop of #1: I like it as it is I think: You need the space in front of him, and at his back... (Or did you change it?)
