I like the idea ... I think I'd have tried a taller, skinnier arrangement so only one page of the sheet music shows, or else all the way horizontally so you see the top of both pages. On my monitor, the brightest highlights on the sax don't quite fit "the mood."
I've come to this photograph several times....I like the idea, and the composition...but, for me the musical instrument looks too out of focus....it distracts me from the overall effect of the photo. I know I am not a professional photographer and my ideas are just personal, yet I really like all the other aspects of this photo....
An interesting idea. I'm more struck my the shallow depth of focus than the soft focus. The sax is so out of range it is hard to tell what it is. I don;t feel a connection between the music and the sax. Maybe to have the instrument lying on top of the music, the white of the page could give a nice glow using soft focus...
i'm not sure i detect the soft focus being used as much as i do the shallow depth of field. perhaps a broader DOF would have made any soft focus that's present a bit more noticeable.
