Nice performance shot that captures the movement, vibrancy, and energy of the musicians, as well as a little of their quirkiness (the badly abused baby doll is creepy but attention-capturing). Well caught

This scene is fascinating and more than a little bit creepy. I won't speculate as to what the creators of it had in mind. The possibilities could vary wildly. I like that you made sure several of the posts extended above the lake's horizon line, and that you kept the formation on the left, allowing their shadows to extend the fulll width of the image. Interesting and vaguely disturbing.

The purple water lilies were enough to entertain the eye with the beautiful Monet-like reflections in the rippling pond. But we also get a delightful and enormous frog in elaborate detail. What good fortune, and nice capture.

Just a robin is plenty. It is notable that your robin looks very unlike the robins that live in the US. Only the coloring seems similar. But it's a pretty bird, and you've caught it in perfect profile against a lovely blurred background.

The concept and execution are visually captivating, and your use of light and sharpness vs blur nails it perfectly.

Thank you Paula. Praise (if deserved) and guidance from people like yourself is why I like this forum and the people who inhabit it.

Thank you Chris.

It's a great illustration of the joy of making music together.
Nuff said.Your title puzzles me a bit (could be due to Australian idiom).
A "mosh pit", in my understanding, is the area where the audience is most actively enjoying the show (sometimes VERY actively, with jumping and body-slamming into eachother and with waves of motion and stagediving or crowd surfing etc.)
For the musicians themselves, I would call their energetic behaviour "jamming". -
Great idea to call your leukistic heron "Luke".
I like the shot: good balance between main subject and context.
At first I felt like it was a bit too centered, but actually it is not because the more busy scene above is nicely counterpointed by the clear calm water below.
And the heron is walking a plank with room for him to move further left. The mind's eye already sees him doing just that. -
Feels like pan flute upside down jammed into the sand.
It could be my perception, but your horizon feels like it is leaning slightly (left lower than right). Sometimes hard to judge correctly when there is land on one side on the far horizon. Stlll, it feels to me like a slight lean, maybe triggered by the desire to have the highest pole stand vertically.

Disney could be interested in this image. It feels like classic fairytale material.
What I like most is that the flowers are subjects that command attention first.
The camouflaged frog comes as a pleasant later discovery. -
The shallow DOF allows for superimposing two subjects that would not work well together if both were clear and sharp.
The twig hanging upside down is fragile but can still compete with the bulky tree trunk behind it.
I think that this is a very clever presentation, in which the fact that we have centered symmetry, works wonderfully well.
