Great idea! Oh, and Joey, it's a trombone.

Wonderful shot - the high contrast certainly fits the subject well. I'll just jump right into it. I think the blur in the trombone itself is a non-issue, because if the trombone is being played.. there's bound to be some motion, right? Plus, the lack of focus and leading lines help draw the attention to the player.

The cheeks and eyes are great in a semi-comical manner.. the only thing I really notice here is that there seems to be some kind of anomaly (maybe I just am too slow to figure out what it is) underneath the horn at the bottom right corner.. looks kinda wrinkly and I can't figure out what it is.

Good contrast. For me, I wish there was less blur in the bell of the trombone.

I love the humor of this. His bloated out cheeks remind me of Dizzy Gillespie. Fun shot and great contrast!
