IMHO lighting is way harsh and the shadow is rather annoying behind his head. If possible with your camera you should try bouncing the light are placing the flash higher.5

too much of the sax is not included in the photo, and the black thing on the left is distracting. another angle would have gotten you much higher marks.

the 'soft' focus on the subject takes away from the appeal, but good shot otherwise

Very strange expression on performer's face. I'm missing his right hand... I think the hands on sax players are important. Onboard flash has given very unflattering shadows which make shot look like a snapshot. Background looks awful. Very noisy, surely with flash a lower ISO could have been used?
