I think it's a beautiful shot but there's something odd about the edges. I think the image has been over-sharpened and the selection needs some feathering. I think this image can be improved a lot with a bit more time spent on the finer details.

I love it! if I had to nit-pic, i don't like the texture of the terry cloth towel in BG. Velvet maybe? 8

Intersting choice to desatures, does make it stand out but I wonder what not the entire instrument is not saturated. Background is also a bit distracting

I was sad when they tore it down. I live in Central NJ, Asbury Park has been one of my favorite places to shoot.

the reflections in the bell are a bit distracting. Also, I'm wondering if you might have found a more interesting crop. Focus and clarity are good, and the background contains no distracting elements. The lighting is making some shadows near the bottom right, that maybe could have been fixed with a bit of side light. Overall, I think you did a nice job. ~Heather~

Great idea. I love photos of musical instruments for the most part but there are a couple of problems with this, mainly the reflected items in the horn are distracting. I find that photographing anything reflective is real tricky, you don't want to get burned out highlights and you don't want unwanted reflections. Also I think that having at least one end of the horn in the composition would be nice. I think the overall the exposure and clarity is super.

first word that comes to mind is odd. second thought is that you seem to be approaching a really great idea, just not quite realised. i don't know if this was the original intention, but if you had bent down a bit and taken the shot looking more inside the saxaphone, and desatted the same way, i think it would be more effective. basically, i love the idea that the inside is brass, and the rest is grey. editting, i might have tried to either clone out or blur some of the stuff reflected in the brassy bits - just appears a smidgeon bit cluttered, really. concept 10, realisation 6, average 8.

Photo is cool. Nice job there. Headline is kind of confusing though. Could be better.
