Anna Jane Ryan, a talented player from a talented family playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in Limerick.

The light was hardly sufficient and I didn't want to use flash, but the effect remains.

edit: Just noticed I can't spell concerto. Doh!

Justin, these are very good! The first one is the best in my opinion.
It's a pitty in the third one the stick (how do you call this thing in English?) is in front of her face...
But the lighting is perfect!

Pleasant series in a nicely balanced scene in colour and lighting.
Well done.

I like these a great deal. The studious look on her face is perfect.

The comments are appreciated.

The photos are from a shoot of her playing with the Limerick School of Music Orchestra and there are some more in the Link below. Her sister (the dark haired lass in the last two pictures) is also a gifted musician as is her father and, so I'm told, her brother as well. So much talent poured into the one family and yet they are so remarkably modest, I feel distressingly inadequate in their company.

Rense, in English it is called the 'bow', but they would understand 'stick' just as well.
