Interesting lighting (with it's yellow colour) and nice composition. Music pattern on recorder looks good against black background.

Bravo! I'm guessing you used a projector... now I want one for all my instrument shots! I really would have prefered the top-left to bottom-right diagonal though, the one you chose always seems to jar with me. I think the border needs to be a bit more subtle... a good border never draws attention away from what it's framing IMO.The hue is just a little too yellow-orange for my taste, and looks just a little like the wrong white balance was used. However, I love this photo... and now desperately want to copy it! 9

Not sure how this was done but I like it. The wood tones on the recorder (I'm not a musical instrument expert) are nice and warm and very appealing to me. The diagonal composition is great. The overlayed musical notes adds a nice dimension and completes the 'package' the image presents. The matching border is good, although I'm almost tempted to say a little too bright - a duller yellow picked from the darker yellow area of the recorder may have been better.

Creative and very well done, although I don't particularly care for it.

Very interesting subject. Like the compostion, it leads your eyes from top to bottom. The colors on the instrument is very nice. I like how the subject looks with the unique musical notes on it. Almost looks like tattoos. The black background really helps to make the subject stand out. "10"

Very elegant display of an elegant object - it\'s the lighting and golden color that does it. Top score this week.

Well since it has been validated, you must let me know how you did this; Unless the music is actually on the recorder, please do. Great comp and colors. The framing is the color color but you could have done with out it. Great overall shot.
