Great shot. You captured the experience/skill in his hands.

Love this shot, which should place highly. Great composition, and his hands are quite expressive here.

Comment by DrAchoo:
There were lots of "closeup of the instrument" pictures. I felt this was the best. The highlights of the metal are excellent, not too blown out (still some detail). The background helps add contrrast, but isn't totally black which would have made the picture feel less "live". I even like the wedding ring which mirrors the trumpet tone (but of course you didn't have much to do with that). A 9.

Comment by theSaj:
sadly, the background distracts a touch. Nice feel & tone to the image but too tightly cropped around the horn

Sharp image with good negative space.

very nicely done. love the diagonal comp. 9 as it is, and sharper focus on the horn would have gotten 10. i know it's a nitpick, but i really do like this.
