I recently clicked at New Year Concert on 1st Jan 2015, it was amazing and enthralling experience to click the musicians performing live on stage. I got plenty decent shots of the instruments and the musicians in a different lighting, moods and expressions.

Tried different angles, positions, focus areas and would really love your feedback positive or negative, so I can improve my work and click better pictures for my next concert.
