• Comment – Alas, left hand, guitar tuning head are pretty blurred due to low-light DOF. Sca (talk) 13:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Depth of field. I'd like to see someone get f/8 in that lighting without cranking up the ISO. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:16, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Endemic to performance venues. (Flash wudda worked.) Guess we could call it a mood shot & go with it. Sca (talk) 20:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

• At 135mm, from this distance, the photographer would have needed a very strong flash. I doubt the venue would have allowed that. (Also, managing the light for flash in the field is quite difficult, particularly if the lighting changes rapidly). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:15, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Aesthetically I don't think it matters anyway that those elements are not in focus. You could even argue that it adds to the interest of the shot. 81.152.230.168 (talk) 23:07, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
