The BBC's choice of photo from the Elton John concert was a pleasant surprise as it was my personal favourite but I very nearly didn't sent it out at all as I didn't think anyone else would like it.

(The fisheye photo isn't mine, just the Elton pic at the top.) 

I was also covering the concert on a trial basis for Getty but they didn't take the photos. I was told that they were good but not unique enough, and they already had loads of pics of Elton from the previous night in Glasgow. Still it's another open door and maybe it will lead somewhere in future.

Here's the one wide angle pic I did of the concert. Literally. Swapped cameras, took one shot, chimped for exposure and swapped back to telephoto. I'd have loved to do some more adventurous shots but just for once I played safe and made sure I got the close-ups. Rubbish shot? Aye. But I like it…
