Greetings from the critique club:)

Firstly, the composition of this is great- the 3 main subjects are spot on in focus and everything is very clean and sharp..great.

The use of colour is very effective here, the brass is beautiful and very rich and this really stands out against the monochrome-the saturation of the monochrome is spot on... I think I agree with JuliBoc- I would have prefered this if just the middle trumpet was coloured, I think this would have been more dramatic and add more meaning.

Great shot and excellet use of the technique.

You did a great job here, the desat makes the horns stand out, and the high contrast in the B&W brings the players out of the background.. Well done.

Jeffery, she looks so cute in this shot. I think the selective desat would have been more effective if you had left just your daughter's horn in color. Then the photo would have been about her playing the horn and not the horns.

I like this one. The color really sets it off, and I love the expression on the middle girl.
