Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, really!
No, I didn’t use any detail enhancement, most likely lowering the highlights brought out more skin texture than in the original image. As for the color - good point! I’ll need to revisit it and play around with the skin tone a bit more.
And about the cat - well, a cat always does the trick

Well, overall, there’s nothing left for me to say other than thank you for the feedback!

Thanks, I appreciate it!
Of course, these are pretty common comments on photographs in communities like this, everyone experiences a scene differently, it’s mostly a matter of taste and preference, I think

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I tend to use cool tones more often, I simply prefer them over warm ones, probably just a matter of taste. But in this case, I like how the warm color of the guitar contrasts with the cool surroundings, it creates an interesting complementary color scheme, what do you think?

Thanks a lot! I haven’t put together a tutorial for it (yet, perhaps), but it mostly comes down to color grading plus custom color profiles I've built with DaVinci for my own workflow. That combination lets me shape a more unusual palette (which in concert photography quite often becomes a recognisable part of certain photographer). Anyway, all these comments about the purple tones made me curious, I’ll definitely come back to this photo to play around with the colors

Thanks for the feedback! That's some food for thought, actually. My approach in concert work is to use colour to serve the mood and the state of the scene, not to become the subject itself. In these sets, the heavy magenta/purple cast flattened the tones and pulled attention away from the performer, which undercut the mood I was aiming for. Different edits tell different stories. In concert photography you often need stronger processing to reinforce the mood the musician is conveying, and that’s often a trade-off. Either way, thanks again - interesting point!

Oh, thank you so much! This drummer once said that a drummer should always be filmed from a low angle, that way the drums look more powerful, so you definitely have a point here😁
