  2. A dynamic concert photograph capturing a musician performing on stage. The image shows a singer with curly hair at a microphone, appearing to be mid-performance with an expressive, energetic delivery. The lighting creates a dramatic atmosphere with effects from stage lights visible in the background - blues, greens, and warm tones creating that classic concert ambiance. There's another figure partially visible in the background, likely another band member. The dark background with colored light spots and the performer's passionate expression really convey the energy and atmosphere of a live music performance.
