The red reflection makes the shot.

I like the idea of light reflecting off the sax, but I don't like what's reflected here. I think it may be better if I wasn't seeing the room or the red-ish light. I like the angle of the photo though.

Good composition, I don't really like the red hues, making the brass feel unnatural.

Need to pay more attention to all of the reflections. Nice work otherwise.

The red does a good job of outlining, but it looks unnatural. good composition and focus.

I love the champagne colours in this one, and really love the use of light. The only aspect of the image I would have tried to change is the reflection of the doorway(?) that appears in the horn area of the instrument. Overall, a very nice image.

Nice sharpness and composition.

Perhaps less of a close up shot would have had more impact for me as the reflection of your surroundings in the sax is distracting. Also, the red/pinkish highlights seem "off."

Nice! Good luck keeping your resolution!

I really like the composition on this and I like how you've shown the age of the instrument. However, I do think it would look excellent in a photo all polished up as well.

Shine that puppy up a little better and be sure not to catch all sorts of other stuff in the room in the reflection next time. Good idea though.

Great shot of a nice sax! I think it could have been improved a bit by using some sort of diffuser over the lighting as it shows up very harsh on the bell and the keys. I like the crop of it very much.

I just like looking at mechanical things, especially when captured in a unique way.
