I think a little less sharpening would help.

A little too bright background. Almost looks like some of the sax got blown out by the bright background.

Nice high key photo. A bit too sharp, perhaps. 8

The crop is interesting and if it were for the trees and the mikes it would look even better. Also I don't really care too much for the blown highlight effects but I imagine you probably did that to eliminate most of the background.

It's a neat idea, but it seems very washed out. It's too white for my tastes. Perhaps a different background would change my mind,

Very strange bitty textures which I'm not at all keen on, presumably resulting from PP work.

Not fond of the exposure on this image. A little overexposed? I like the cropping you did here. B/W ?

image looks like it has potential, but way too much post-processing for my taste.

The post edit really takes from this shot making it seem too blown out.
