Lighting used to great advantage and the image has such appeal because of the that magic moment capture which is often missed in studio shoots. Very nice work!

The softness really creates a moody feel to the atmosphere of this piece, your light control, choice of monochrome and beautiful curves and shadows combine to make this shot a real beauty. Very well modeled, very well captured. GREAT light! -john

I love the angle that you used. Very unique and dramatic. I do not feel that anything is missing at all because there is no head (which is unusual, and congrats on that).

Lighting is pretty nice however I think a bluer sky would have been nicer. This can be done in post processing in advanced. Also the trees are sort of distracting to me.

I feel that the main thing that hurt this was the large amount of background/frame. Making the two smaller pictures somewhat larger, perhaps at the bottom or top of the larger picture, would have allowed us to view the subject better. The large amount of background space being gray also helps to underscore the gray of the sky, so maybe a nice red to match the instrument would have been better.

Overall, nice image and great clarity of subject, just maybe could be more "wow" given some improvements.

Nice pictures. The two smaller ones are a bit similar, tho. Maybe a macro detail shot could have been swapped out for one of them?

Fingers are blurred on the top picture, but it does give a sense of motion. And I guess they aren't even really blurred. It's just that you can see them moving. Definitely not a bad thing in my book, but I know plenty who would take that into account. Great picture.

Lovely photos, not thrilled with the composition. The centre photo is so strong, the grey space above and teeny photos up and down tend to detract from how good just that image is in my opinion.

Great dof on the main image, the blurring of the fingers on the top frame should be distracting but somehow isnt, It would have been nice if you could have captured some of the tree branches in the bottom image to maintain the symmetry of the three images.
