In addition to being a sucker for photos of women, I'm also a sucker for "stage" photography. I do like this one quite a bit. I think the shadow fits well, since stage lighting is often harsh and very directional, even if it is a product of your flash light. The out-of-focus face and the in-focus hand is something that appeals to me. Especially if the hand is doing something that is critical to the subject matter. Good shot, Frank.
