The photos composition and execution was done very well. The way you layed everything out creates value.

5 - Like the concept, nice pose on the baby. The black fabric/backdrop is a little distracting, especially that it is primarily visible bottom right corner. Perhaps a variation in angle, perspective, and lighting (trying to get it a little more even and softer on the clothes), and also 'bringing into play' the song titles more (as you've obviously deliberately chosen them), make this even better in my opinion.

Awesome idea. I think a tighter crop so that there wasn't so much black around the edges would really make this pop. This is one of those ideas I wish I had had when mine were little (I play the trumpet).

This is very well thought out and shot. I like the use of the trombone as scale and though it is not always thought of as a soothing sounding instrument to most, when played legato and pianissmo it is quite beautiful and relaxing. I particularly like the song titles chosen that fit the image very well. Good luck.

Nice photo - cute baby, nice choice of tunes, and I love the horn! Looks like a Schilke mouthpiece on that tenor of yours. Personally, I play bass bone...

Very nice

In advanced editing, it is acceptable to burn and you can get rid of the visible black blanket. Also, too bad about the corner having been clipped off of the trombone. If those two issues had been fixed, this would have received a 10 from me.

I like how you arranged the titles of the songs!
The whole composition is very nice! The baby is so precious!

Beautiful shot

Would have liked this cropped closer. The background is wrinkled in the corner and is rather distracting. This also seems rather distant from the baby and might have gone better more and his/her level.

Could use more contrast but is really good!!!

How sweet!! This is probably one of the better baby set-up shots I have seen. Well done.

I also play the trombone....you gave me such a great idea! (I won't put it in a challenge :) )

Awwwww. What a cute idea for a perspective shot. That little fellow is pretty fresh out of the chute, isn't he! He is BEAUTIFUL! I think this photo will be awesome for years and years to come! It will never age and look outdated! It's one of my highest rated photos in this amazing challenge!

Be sure this one gets put into his wedding slide show, okay? :)

(Sorry if he's a "she". It's so hard to tell at that age :)

This is an excellent photograph. Congratulations. I have found photographing the Trombone very difficult. Here, yours sits perfectly with sheet music, and, of all things, a baby. Fantastic shot

What a beautiful little baby, such lovely soft hair! I really like your choice of music notes only thing that distracts me slightly is the instrument leaving the frame on the left and the paper going out of the frame at the bottom. Other than that a nice image :o)

Truly a unique setting for a baby, and beautiful!

Adorable. I play that "Angel Eyes" piece by Brickman all the time...one of my favorites for the piano.

the cut on the left is not very nice, but the idea is good.If the title you wanted to write is"the maestro" the correct way is "IL MAESTRO" (in capitol letters not to confuse i and l).

I just can't tell you how beautiful this is. There is so much love here, it breaks my heart. And, the baby's pretty, too.(Of course, the baby I refer to is the trigger bass trombone. :>)
