Christmas music by randystreat

Christmas music

Things are kind of quiet after Christmas, so not many photo opportunities. Thought I'd share a photo from a few nights before Christmas. I went to a local bookstore where 2 musicians (sorry couldn't get the second one in the frame) and a vocalist were entertaining with jazzy style Christmas music. A nice, but crowded, atmosphere and a good ushering into Christmas weekend.
This is a great capture. The faces are clear and everything else is soft focus and color.

I like how you got the two of them in the frame and the DOF composition

Good shot- we would never have known about the third performer if you hadn't said so.

@corinnec Thank you for your feedback. It's not a situation that I find myself in very often. I was trying a prime lens and wasn't sure it was going to work. I also was struggling with the settings.
@grammyn Thank you Katy for your feedback. You can see this was an "out of the box" photography situation for me.
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I don't expect than any of the three will see this photo, but I didn't want the other man to feel left out just in case.

I think you’ve captured the Christmas atmosphere in the bookstore very nicely. What a lovely treat the music must have been.

@kjarn Thank you so much Kathy. Bokeh from lights both inside and outside the store.
