My favorite object: my alto sax.
Very difficult to choose between the half dozen shots I took today.This one respects the copper feeling, and add some coloured red light reflections. Hope I 've made the good choice.

I like the idea of light reflecting off the sax, but I don't like what's reflected here. I think it may be better if I wasn't seeing the room or the red-ish light. I like the angle of the photo though.
I love the champagne colours in this one, and really love the use of light. The only aspect of the image I would have tried to change is the reflection of the doorway(?) that appears in the horn area of the instrument. Overall, a very nice image.
Perhaps less of a close up shot would have had more impact for me as the reflection of your surroundings in the sax is distracting. Also, the red/pinkish highlights seem "off."
I really like the composition on this and I like how you've shown the age of the instrument. However, I do think it would look excellent in a photo all polished up as well.
Great shot of a nice sax! I think it could have been improved a bit by using some sort of diffuser over the lighting as it shows up very harsh on the bell and the keys. I like the crop of it very much.
