Nice use of DOF.I would have liked to see a little more light on the mouthpiece. Nice angle.. kind of an uncommon approach. I like that. JD

I have to hand it to you, you certainly come up with some of the most creative photos. This one is very cool, it sends shivers up my spine, I was frozen in amazement! Ok, enough with the puns : ) Actually I like it quite a bit but I must admit I think it needs a certain something else like over exposure to really brighten things up. If you had blown out the highlights a bit I think it would have added to the mysteriousness of this photo and really made it stand out in an abstract way. I think the composition is very good. It's much like going down into an ice cave. Of course it really is, on a smaller scale. It's that illusion of being a much larger space that really adds to this photo. With the colors you nailed the theme and technically it is very sharp but not overprocessed. Great job Konador.

Very nice... GREAT use of DOF. Excellent orangey colour - lighting spot on.
How did you get those weird traffic light blobs at the back?

Gorgeous colours and lighting. I like your shallow depth of field, it really lifts this photo. The subject doesn't inspire me greatly, but your treatment of it is masterful.

Sometimes a shallow dof works well. In this case I'd prefer to see more of the subject in focus. The bg is good here and provides good contrast, and the lighting and exposure are fine. More detail in focus would greatly add to the appeal of this image.

This looks like its been lit by a Christmas tree or some disco lights or something ;o) The shallow DoF is great, but the blown out highlights are a bit distracting. The rich colour contrasts well against the black background, and the framing is good.

This picture works really well as an abstract shot. I'd be interested to see the same shot with your light source moved to different angles around the trumpet.

This is a wonderful photograph and one of the better ones in showing motion. How many tries did it take to get this?
