You should have left this in the landscape orientation: it looks weird this way up, as if the moth is leaning against a wall...Nice detail and focus though.

All round a great image: lovely clarity, and fun subject setup. I like the composition with face -on and centered subject. 9

Fantastic concept and composition. Back again: technically the only aspect that I might tweek is the DOF - the fact that such a small area of the photo is in focus (the 2 or so piano keys) is a bit of a problem. I might have tried to reverse the focus and get as much of the body focused as possible, sacrificing the piano in the process. Nevertheless, a really fantastic concept and I hope this does well.

I love the composition of this one, the style, grunge look and so on. Technically my one twinge is that it seems to have been over-sharpened of something...the fur on the jacket is doing something weird..maybe it's just my monitor?

This is SUCH a great idea with lovely tones and location. In terms of "fine tuning" however, I would have liked all violins to be face on (the one on the left looks as if it's turned outwards too much. The 2 vertical violins I would have liked to be more vertical and parallel to each other. How was the focus for you?
