Really cool shot here. Really like the smoke, warm tones and the hint of purple, which kind of looks like a feather. Only wish the object on the left there was out of the picture. I get an idea why you might have used it though. Maybe a white cloth there would've been better to soften the extra light coming through, or reposition the blocker object and drape the cloth over it as well.
I LOVE the steam or mist on the background plus the lighting. The glow on the slide and the face of the bell are awesome. The only thing I would like to have seen different is the bottom left corner and side. The edge of the material plus the escaping light (oh and the face of the horn blends into that shadow) detract from this really cool piece.
Nice to see a differnt type of entry. The bright area in the lower left distracts me a bit. I covered it with my finger and liked the photo even more. The smoke/fog effect works well with the title. Good luck in the challenge.
Wow, a very 'arty' shot (though let me emphasise this is not a bad thing) beautiful warm golden glow and great sharpness. Love the smoky blue on the inside of the horn
