Got this idea from my friend De Sousa. I think his ideas and setup's are some of the most creative here on DPC, and I appreciate him allowing me to give my attempt with the shot. Don't forget to check out his shot.
Lit with two lights. The stronger flashlight gave the Saxophone the shadow and a higher light lit the actual Sax. My wife printed out the music notes and taped them on the wall, and helped big time with the setup. Hope everyone likes my take, and make sure to check out De Sousa's shot. Obrigado meu amigo!

Great image. Borrowed theme, but we all do it. The harshness of the light on the sax distracts a bit. Less contrast on the sax may have allowed this to be smoother.
Great idea and execution!! would have given it a 10 were it not for the over-sharpened notes (you can see a white halo around them)and the distracting true shadow on the left (8).
Nice silver Yamaha Tenner, well lit, something going on with the shadow, did you maybe overshaprpen a tad?.. still great and I still expect this will finish top 10
