Letting go into the music

Pleeeease don't be offended (and if you are, PM me and I'll delete my comment) but the first thing I thought of when I saw his expression was that he was in pain or had, ahem, just released some odious gases. :o(
I did immediately "get" that he's simply in the grip of a powerful emotion and really feeling his music. I would crop a touch at top and right to close in as you have on left and bottom.

Hot Bath
by Firstrich1

Comment:
This is exactly how I let go and unwind... I have a wonderful hot bath, with Lush bath goodies, I have a drink to hand, maybe some chocolates or strawberries, and a pile of magazines or a good book. This speaks volumes to me and is also a nicely composed image with good choice of black and white and shallow DOF.

This is the essence of black and white - light and form! Love it!

Final Farewell

Content is excellent, I think the composition is not as strong as it might be, for me.

Amazing textures and I love the beige and brown palette. The star shape is beautiful.

Mrs. Brown

Perfectly composed, perfect viewpoint - watching her grief but not intruding. I wonder if a little fill in light on the headstone would improve this, just to bring out the detail a touch more? I really like this very much.

Goodbye Old Friend

A moving image, well composed. I'm not keen on the colour toning of the black and white. I think straight black and white may have had more impact for me.

Leaving

I find the lighting a little harsh and contrast a little high but I do like the content very much, and part of that is the shadows thrown by that strong light. The texture of the cobbles is wonderful.

This shot makes me feel peaceful. I love that triangle formed by the silhouette of the bank. Diagonals and straight lines miz very well. It's beautiful.

Diagonal works well, as does simplicity of content.
