 A brass mouthpiece. This was WAAAAAY more difficult than it looked!

Lit using a TFT Screen from a laptop and a CRT monitor with the same blue/lightblue/black graphic fullsize in the background. Used A4 sheets of paper to light all the spots I wanted.

I sincerely hope this does well

Good work

I love this shot. As a former horn player it brings back some great memories. I wish it was a little lighter or had a little more reflections.
