Good contrast. For me, I wish there was less blur in the bell of the trombone.

A good shot. Unique angle and lots of different grey value. The problem is I cannot help but stare right at the arm. The blown highlights really distract from the texture on the face and shine of the eyes. Other than that I enjoy this shot a lot.

This is a really good shot. I agree with some of the other comments. I think that if you blurred out the rest of the eyebrow, it would allow the viewer to concentrate more on the eye. Great focus and DOF. I really like the color and eye reflection too. I would also suggest removing the red vein lines in the eye - could use burn/dodge brush to lighten the areas or clone them out. I also think that a single line border is more than enough in a shot that is this minimalistic and high key. The double line detracts from the image IMHO. A very good shot!

I would blur out the rest of the eyebrow to keep the emphasis on the eye. I'm drawn to the blood shotness (is that a word?) of the eye and the yellow spot in the eye. I would reduce both if possible to get viewer's focus on the pupil and iris. I love the treatment you did - the fade out. It works very well for this image. POV and focus excellent as are colors.
