taking photograph of still life is slightly tricky. it may give a feeling of slightly out of focus due to shiny finish.

I would have done this in portrait crop getting the entire reflection or more of the reflection shown and get rid of all the wasted space on the right. It seems a hair off on the focus or perhaps it was handheld at a very low shutter speed.

I like the off-center pose, reflection and color. Maybe a tigher crop would have been more effective.

Thanks to all for voting and commenting and showing interest in this picture. This being my first entry to DPC and with not much efforts, I was not expecting much. But I have got quite many comments, variety of views and now that I can see details of the score, its WOW that some people found it 8,9,10 and sad at the same time that many were 1,2,3 too. Well 1,2,3 also appreciated that I need to do much better in future and also the fact that I needed to convey my theme in better way. There was popular Hindi(Indian) movie music on one side and classical instrumental music on the other. Added crowd of CDs to lonely cassette. May be due to local theme it did not appeal the really "global" crowd. (and that way I was alone in a crowd :-)) )
Thats best learning for me from this challenge.
