When I first looked at this in the challenge context without the title I thought first of words associated with trumpets, like "blare." I think with a slightly different angle, shallower DOF, and more light and focus on the face, my perception would change and I would immediately see what the title tells me. IMO.
I'm sure you find peace here but what about the neighbors who have to listen to you practice? ;-) I'll accept that this represents peace to you but it is not what I think of when I see this image.
I like the bold, graphic quality of the image. It might be improved by moving further from the wall so the shadow would not be visible. Darker pants would also keep them from being blown out.
Like: Good shot, everything is well lighted and shadows are good.
Dislike: It looks like you used soft focus but I may be wrong, it doesnt seem that sharp.
I gave it an 8
