He certainly comes across as a showman crooner here Line; love the arch of the unfolded accordian and the contrast and I'm willing to bet that Sohrab's going to like the darkness :)

The fact that he is a showman should make you courageous-- it means he doesn't mind being shot and will play up to the camera so fire away!

Très beau portrait bien mis en valeur par le noir et blanc et par la distance proche. Félicitations Line !
Points demain...

This is eerie... It looks like a disembodied head whose top has been cut off, floating above an accordian with a strange hand disconnected from everything pressing keys. And the man's averted gaze with only the whites of his eyes showing adds to the impression. Are you sure this isn't a scene from Chainsaw Massacre? ;-) I thought I heard a scream, "Let me OUT of here!"

Great PoV, the composition is fine and the capture is clean and crisp, but I'm serious, the lack of definition of his shoulder and hat against the background make this a difficult image to read. You refer to "disturbing" when speaking of the background, so perhaps you did your best to solve some other problems. But I think you created new problems while solving the old, at least to my tired eyes.

Looks scary, I agree with Curtis comments. The microphone even makes his hand look like a giant spider impaled by a huge nail. But I prefer the photo this way with strange shapes appearing out of the blackness.

Great portrait Line! The sweat on his neck and face makes this picture very lively (in spite of the Chainsaw Massacre connection that Curtis made, haha!) and the white and black keys and curved "airbag" of the accordion are beautiful. Your description of the concert reminds me of many concerts of a small local band that I visited in the past. Most of the time they performed on very small stages in pubs or youth centres. And their concerts were always big fun with a lot of interaction. Unfortunately the band split up and all that I have now are my precious memories and a lot of CDs...
