Nappy Roots Photo Critique 5

I took a lot of photos of Nappy Roots during the very short show at the Indigo District on Feb. 11, 2009. The show was very smokey and it was hard to take a shot as I was getting bumped around a lot. I did like the way this shot turned out because the girls up on stage were definitely shakin' their thang.
