Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Not when they're doing a tribute to Max Roach, one of the greatest jazz drummers of our time. We had Jason Marsalis, Herlin Riley, and Shannon Powell. Marsalis is the one in the suit; I'll let you know who is whom in due course. I've not heard of the other two until this afternoon, and I want to know more about them, and find some of their music. But consider this ... As y'all know, music is supposed to be fun. If you're not enjoying yourself, then something is seriously wrong.  I'm not convinced that the horn players are having as much fun as the percussion section.   This is just plain showing off.  And this is the joy of music! (Jason is the head in the back!)  here'sthe gallery for this lot. g.

Great shots Gary.
Shannon Powell is New Orleans drummer who played with Harry Connick's Big Band for many years. Really great character. You can see him on Harry's New York Concert DVD. Brilliant player.

Both of them have played with Connick Jnr, it would seem Actually, saying that somebody has played with someone else in this town isn't really saying all that much: everyone here has played with everyone else, when you get down to it. My cab to the fairgrounds on Friday had a trio consisting of trumpet, singer (from Australia, living in Ireland) and a bassist; likewise, yesterday's cab to the fairgrounds had a trumpeter, keys, and bassist. In both cases, the trumpeter was the cabbie - different person each time, and I was the bassist. Yesterday's cabbie went to school with members of, and has played in, the Rebirth Brass Band. Another cabbie, coming back to my hotel from Cafe Du Monde, plays sax, and was playing in Jazzfest sometime over this weekend. A passenger in the cab coming back from the fairgrounds yesterday was from Boston, but had just returned from three weeks in Melbourne at the Comedy festival there. FTR, Herlin Riley is the one wearing the cream/orange, Shannon Powell is the one in the beret. I'll probably be buying some local music this morning, and I think I'll probably bypass going to the fairgrounds today. I'm not sure that my legs can handle it. g.
