Nice one and this looks ok for colours, suffering from a bit of wide angle convergance which is normal, but i think it adds to the shot.

This would make a nice LP cover with text in upper left hand corner. If only they still made them.

'The Brief' - for want of a better description was to photograph 3 bands, assorted Mods and Scooters outside Newcastle Civic Centre to publicise a gig in October. My friend wanted as many people in shot as possible (over 60 turned up) while also fitting in the Poseiden sculpture and as much of the centre as possible.
All things considered I'm happy with the outcome.
The Steady Boys are so happy with their photos they are planning using at least one shot for their next single!
If only money was involved!

The 'colours' were originally 'washed out' until you suggested fiddling with my mysterious 'colour curves' Thanks again oh Wise One.

Cracking shot Alan and very atmospheric...works well with the posing and the sculpture

possibly for an alternative shot would be to move further back (if you can!), bring the people away from the building closer to you to try to make them bigger without losing the dramatic aspect of the imposing building and its sculpture...

Thanks everyone.
As is always the case I thought of several different shots after the event! In my defence most shots were beong choreographed by a third party ...who only appeared interested in getting Sarah the blonde singer shoe horned into every shot!
I'm busy organising a second (smaller) shoot.
