Choosing black and white was a good move. IMHO focusing further up the instrument and not on the fingers would have been more effective.

IMHO the DOF is poor, nothing appears to be in focus. 5

Excellent concept but I can't see a point in clear focus in your photo.

I had to come back to this one, at first I wish I could see more flute, but a 2nd evaluation I find it more interesting. Nice idea and B/W was a good choice for this image.

good idea. maybe a little more depth of field to allow more visiblity of the instrument

The frame is overbearing in this otherwise beautiful photo. 6

I like your idea. A little to close to your subject and in my opinion.

Nice idea, but I think the DOF is too shallow - almost makes it difficult to tell what the instrument is.

Very nice close up! The only thing that could possibly make it better is a little crisper focus.

I like the perspective and the composition, just is a little blurry. Good Job.

Interesting. I like the B&W effect.

I really like this photo. I don't like to be critical because I am new to photography. Only thing I would have liked to see is the middle-ground a bit more in focus. Regardless I still like the photo, great job.

not fond of your angle,

If this was live music, a camera up the flautists nose would surely have bothered them? Would be an interesting studio shot if something was in focus.

real nice idea and toning/bw use. but i feel the focus is a bit off. still a 6 for the composition and attempt.

Wish this were in focus. It has potential.
