    Like the latest one very much! Wish that kid on left didn't have the wide angle distortion.

    It was 10mm on an APS-C camera. I must have held the camera plumb. If you shoot enough, you'll get lucky.

    I find last one very appealing! The drama of light and dark is super!
    Her arm has harsh shadow....

    Thanks. Kids with spot lights makes for terrible lighting. I should probably PhotoShop the arm into something less harsh ... thanks for the heads-up.

    My favs: #2 and #5. Amazing how you were able to handle the stage lighting. Just superb captures and processing . A real treat for the actors and everyone who worked to put in the show.

    Thank you CCoop. The kids and teacher are very thankful. Whitney is one of the top, if not the top public high school in California (per testing). The kids work very very hard. I am happy to help them out and memorialize their efforts. (Everything is pro bono and I give them a DVD of the images to copy.)

    These are wonderful and such a nice visual capture of what looks like a very professional production by these high-schoolers. I love the BWs. Any of the images could be used for posters to advertise their drama/arts program.

    Thank you Jo. These kids are great and they always put on a great show. They have a 'Set-Building' class which delivers a lot of production value.

    I really like #'s 2 and 5 of the original set. I keep going back to those two over and over. The lighting on both are excellent.
