My Mic, My Life

This is an interesting abstract - with nice choice of duotone. But I don't really like the noise in the background.

Saxophonic

Comment:
The lighting on the sax is good, but the choice of a small marching band piece of music really does not help - it probably would have done better without any music.

Nice perspective on this rather strange colored violin.

The lighting on this is very strange - most of the image is in shadows and only a few inches of the keyboard are bright. I think fixing the lighting on this image would help a great deal.

The Player

Comment:
Very well composed and delivered shot. Beautiful people, great story and nice use of processing to give a feel. BUT, for me personally, this feels more like professional music rather than students and school days.

Nice concert photo of a 'hot' band. Clearly this is what many do during their 'school days'.

Clarence Fender's Legacy

Comment:
Technically - this is a very nice image - clear, well lit, sharp, good contrast. From a story perspective (and I think that is really needed for this challenge), it seems rather antiseptic.

Winter Blues

A pretty nice abstract closeup. The lighting is fine, but the black line behind the instrument is a distraction.

Learning To Play
by EssAreDubya

Comment:
Technically - the lighting could use some work - more light on the keys would probably help. Also, the cropping seems a little off - there is a big black area to the right of the music that makes this seem offset. It is not a bad image, but could use a little more punch. To really add to this, getting someone in the image to actually practice or pretend to play would add a story to the image.

Guitar

Nice set up for this image - just wish there was better lighting on this ol' classical guitar.
