Very well captured and very interesting environmental portraits!

The second shot is fantastic, Tony!
The first one doesn't pull me in as much.
Take care!

For #2-- How the camera loves smoke! And for #1, I would prefer a different crop bringing more emphasis to the artist's clothing, head adornment and eyes, and to the hand work being done, and less to the subject's back-- which draws attention as it is large and bright. I really like both of these and the event they represent!

I like the bravado in no 2.

What kinda blew my mind is that cigarette and cigar smoking is
not allowed in that area, but there were dozens of hookahs fired
up. The air was thick with hookah smoke and redolent of the
odor they produce.

The two pictured were in seats facing the stage where some
dancers were performing, and the whole seating area was
under a cloud of smoke.


Thanks for the comments.
