Hey Bob: Congratulations on your top 20 finish. Wow, are you getting better and better. I am very happy for you. Keep it up and you will be adding those ribbons soon.
Thanks again for your great comments. To all of those who told me that she wasnt holding the clarinet correctly, sorry, my daughter is a really a drummer, the clairinet is my wifes, and she wasn't arount around to show us how to hold it properly!

I like the high-key effect you achieved with the lighting. However, I don't like that the whole image looks slightly out of focus. Also, you should use a model that knows (or is instructed properly) how to assemble and hold a clarinet.
returning for comments:
Now, this shot is nice. The angle adds interest, but the model does not hold the instrument properly with left hand. The little thing that is silhoutted by the base of her thumb is the thumb rest. Since the comp is strong, we will overlook this minor detail. lol Bumping up.
I usually don't like tipped pictures but in this case it works just great. It allows us to see most of the girl and the whole clarinet. The use of a wite high key background works well for this too. Gives the whole a graphic feel.
wow, good picture
However, I'm a clarinet player. ANd I can tell you that tghis person does not play clarinet. Her hands are in the wrong place ;)
But that wont bias my scoring, its a good picture.
thought it could have been a good picture...nice clarity and such...but so many things are wrong from how the mouthpiece is in her mouth, where the ligature is, and how shes holding it that it bothers me...a lot...
Very nice composition. I think her posture is a bit staged, as if she's trying to say "get on with it - take the picture already". Some of the yellow tones, especially in the background could be desaturated I think. One of my top picks still - good effort!
I usually like these high key portraits but this one, I don´t know. The instrument (don´t know the english word for it) is moving slightly and somewhere the backround is pure white, and somewhere it´s yellowish, it´s like you dodged the backround in photoshop but left out some areas, like over her left shoulder, under her left elbow and at her right thigh. Good effort though, I love the composition and her expression and this is still better than most shots in this challenge.
