Nellie McKay’s Latest Act is a Lyrical Landfill (thepoliticker.observer)

I probably haven’t seen the worst cabaret act of all time, but after Nellie
McKay at Feinstein’s, I have certainly seen the dopiest. Part naive, lyric-
driven song parade and part ecology lecture on the rape of the environment,
this curiosity is called _Silent Spring—It’s Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature_
and it features the cute, sincere and woefully misguided actress-singer in the
role of late environmentalist author Rachel Carson, who devoted her career to
saving the planet from arrogant self-destruction. Ms. McKay is a gentle
activist who loves dogs and flowers and everything green, attaching a few
songs about nature to a rambling discourse about the dangers of pesticides,
insecticides and other acrimonious environmental assaults. (It’s not a show
you want to see on Valentine’s Day.) The musical interludes do little to
alleviate the academic tedium generated by the disorganized patter wedged
between them. One or two critics I respect have high regard for this girl, but
all I can see is a vast need for improvement. Her heart may be in the right

They are fine for what they are. The thing is, the edges are sharp and it looks like a 'Shopped background rather than a real bg. I imagine that Harold Feinstein's dark backgrounds are a product of backdrop and studio lighting and not Photoshop. His shadows are also softer in general. If you can, try to shoot some in window light, or soft indirect light against a dark cloth or black paper. Even if a hint of the bg shows, you can do a bit of burn rather than a cut and paste. I think the overall look would come closer. Interesting project.
