This picture was not suppose to be in this challenge. Forgot to pull it before I went on Christmas vacation. I'm thinking about a self DQ.

I think a narrower DOF would have helped this shot. Did you think about retaining some colour just in the trombone?

lots of potential for playing with different angles and perspectives on the sax with this concept. The angling of the shot is a good idea, but maybe it leaves the instrument itself just a little too central?

Sharpness and clarity are great, nice work.

Quite the person of note I see! :)

shallower DOF might've made this more hard hitting, aweome shot though!

excellent composition, and conversion to bw!

I like the angle on this shot.. Black and White is perfect!!

Nice contrast and range. The border is rather uneven and that's a bit distracting.

I love the image, and it is a good fit for the challenge; the border, however, is not too good, especially because it is so uneven (three different widths in the black). ~8 (higher without the border :) )

Nice Bari :D

Great focus and sharpness.

Thats not just a sax mind you... Isn't that a bari sax? Maybe a touch more of levels to really make the sax pop would be nice. It seems slightly flat to me. Nice image though.
