    The second shot is fantastic, Tony! thumb.gif
    The first one doesn't pull me in as much.
    Take care!

    For #2-- How the camera loves smoke! And for #1, I would prefer a different crop bringing more emphasis to the artist's clothing, head adornment and eyes, and to the hand work being done, and less to the subject's back-- which draws attention as it is large and bright. I really like both of these and the event they represent!

    What kinda blew my mind is that cigarette and cigar smoking is
    not allowed in that area, but there were dozens of hookahs fired
    up. The air was thick with hookah smoke and redolent of the
    odor they produce.

    The two pictured were in seats facing the stage where some
    dancers were performing, and the whole seating area was
    under a cloud of smoke.
