My daughter, who really can play this. This was really, really noisy. I used the saturation layer to take out the color (which was a red background with too many wrinkles). USM.

Pretty daughter, I like her eyes in this shot. I would like the shot better if the clarinet was angled just a little to the right of the picture, showing more of the instrument and reducing the negative space. But that's just my for my eye. You have a strong image here.
Kelli, my personal opinion is that you got robbed. I love the starkness of the contrast and only B&W would work here. You've completely eliminated the background. I would have given this a 7 but I didn't vote in this challenge.
I like the perspective and the use of lighting, but there is a strange reddish tint to the image that is problematic to me - especially in her forehead and around her chin. Taking the image all the way to B/W would likely have worked better.
