Ya, unfortunately, I can't crop off that glare at the top. It really bugs me too. =) It's actually from a window at the back of the building. I took this image without flash because I hate the built-in flash on my camera, and I don't have the money to buy a real one. =)
Vincent, very original idea and well-executed! I like what you did with depth of field on this. The blurred backgound and guitarist keep them from distracting the eye away from the mike in center stage (pun intended, sorry). The light flash in the center top, however, is a distraction, it's too bad you really can't crop it out because the shot would look crappy with the top of the guitarist's head chopped off, even if he is blurred. Very well done, I like it!
