My stage...

Nice idea, tho I think the figure could have moved closer to keep head out of shadows. You also appear to have a white balance problem here, unless you were going for the orange-yellow cast.

Playin' the Blues

I must be missing the table here. Nice shot of a sax, but the B&W conversion is kind of muddy. No rich blacks, and its kinda dark, too.

Nice shot and idea, but too small. Looks like the B&W conversion could be a little stronger ... no strong blacks and whites.

Great use of the challenge. I really like the angle you used in this shot. Even though you don't see the table, its clearly a table-high angle. Focus is a little soft in the near field (a smaller aperture would help here) and highlights are a bit blown out at the top and far end. Also would have been nice to see a figure in one of the chairs at the end of the aisle, perhaps bent over a book, but still very nice as it is. 8

I can't find anything to say I don't like about this picture. The lighting is good, the blacks are deep, the focus is sharp, the composition is appropriate ... technically excellent. As a whole, though, the image leaves me underwhelmed. Can't say precisely why that is; maybe its just that images like this have been done many times before. But then again, I could say the same thing about most of the flower shots in this challenge, and they don't hit me the same way. I'm not trying to be overly critical here (I gave you a 7); just sharing my reaction.
