This is so powerfull :) I regret I didn't vote ... but I had no time :/
It's one of those pictures where I stand and ask myself "Well Jack what could be done better?" and ... I have no idea :) It doesn't need anything else.A very strong shot. Congratulations!

Looks more like Salieri :) I prefer "Beethoven or bust".

While Mozart was a great musician, I have a hard time classifying him as a "hero." Still an excellent photograph regardless.

Great lighting, focus, and overall execution. Not quite fond of the background. And where is the fuzzy wig? ;-)

Very interesting. I like the nice background and the contrast is very dramatic, as is the model's expression. 7

Very imaginative and obviously a lot of work! Mimics in 3-D the poster in 2-D.

Interesting repro of the image from Amadeus. I believe that was really Salieri and not Mozart but never mind. I do like this very much.

The guy is rather scarry, but I must score it high for the quality. I see some similarity with the one DVD cover (wasn't that Mozart too?) but still like it very much.
