Thanks for commenting Douglas. To defend myself   ;>)  I would say that I 
get into positions, and get images, which are just not possible during 
concerts but the downside is that I get empty seats. The piano is large 
(this one is a 9.5ft Steinway Concert Grand) and if I get it in shots I lose 
the face amongst the piano and my aim are jazz portraits. People who know 
jazz know who the subjects are - if you were to photograph e.g. Sinatra you 
would not expect to see his voice in the image but you would see his face.

Kind regards

Gerry
