I've spent most of the weekend doing detail shots of the Alto but non really grabbed me (apart from 1 but I'd already reformatted the CF). So here is another self portrait. No, I can't play (guess you could tell that) but have been practicing my embouchure ;)
I 'purchased' the Sax with a gentlemans agreement that I can take it back on Monday and receive all but 25 pounds back. However I may just give learning to play it ago (and annoy the neighbours)

Love the 'emotion' in this shot and on my screen the Sax definitely looks Gold (calibration needed me thinks!). I felt this image was nicely composed with good detail in the Sax and the persons face and arms :o)
