IMHO you could have just used the mic as your subject. The Bass is distracting.

Creative use of depth of field - very interesting work which compelled me to spend more time studying it.

Very nice, I love the use of DOF and rule of thirds.

I could do without the XLR cable on the mic. I really like the depth that the base yields to the composition. 6

Good composition, I would suggest to put the bass in even lower position to balance the photo more and to emphesize the parallel lines of microphone and neck of the bass...

I'm sure you'll get some comments on the OOF bass not being a good idea, but I really like it, it adds depth to the image. (8)
