Too bad about the score. I think this is quite artsy. a straight shot would give us nothing to look at. You captured the motion of music!

Great fun! Not sure the background guy helps the composition?

If I can be honest,

Pros:
- the composition is good
- the tilt adds value to the picture (I see the subject's right hand and his posture is now aligned with a diagonal)

Cons:
- the background is too busy. That I think is hurting the image. The trees, the other person, take your attention away from the main subject.

Hope that helps...good luck!

This is a standout image because it is very different, especially with colors, yet some of the choices you made are really interesting.

I like the black flecks on the 'ground'. To me, they give a nice bit of grittyness that could be complemented very well with some large, soft monochromatic grain for a bit more 'retro' feel.

The unusual background is interesting too since it suggests the coloring of a night horizon. This is complemented by the cloud of smoke. This therefore suggests water for the bottom half and you end up with the suggestion of a landscape.

Note the match box cover which has a classic feel, but contrasts with the overall color scheme of the pic.

Very thought provoking and well done.

PS. Classical guitarist?
