I loved this shot the first time I saw it. You executed this beautifully! You should have scored much higher...

Hi Jim,

I know you would not be happy with the results - specially given that a photochopped image won, I am not happy either :( but thats the way it works.

I like the concept of your photograph very much, but would have liked if the spotlight was a we bit off center. The cloth adds to the effect of the photo

Cheers
Tarique

Comment by blindjustice:
isn't it "Hamelin"- anyway, very interesting shot- it could also be entitled " snake charmer's apprentice" I like the texture adn the center blow out. Way to keep those blacks black too, instead of brownish. Perhaps shoot the shot slightly from above.

Hamelin (The Piper of -) or Hameln (the German name of the town)... (?)

And I just bought a cheap soprano recorder last week -- before I saw this. Good idea and composition. Is the background fabric? I like the overall graininess, but something in the texture isn't quite right for me -- I think I'm expecting a "pebbly" texture as from stucco or plaster.

Best of show so far! Good distinct shadow. Great use of light source to both create the shadow and as an integral part of the shot! Kudos

Nice composition. I think the center spot light is a tad too bright, though.

Good idea for the challenge. I think the cloth is causing this to look like noise/grain. I actually like the look and think it adds here. Good work, good luck in the challenge.
