 I wanted to try out some new lighting gear, but didn't arrive in time. tried a couple with hands in for extra punch, but slow shutter speed and narrow DOF didn't work. Hoping the hair doesn't get noticed too much.

I like the shot but to represent language i would like to see some action in it. It's a DMNC for me. Sorry if i was rude.

The language of music. I find the brown bottom right corner to be a bit distracting, I think this would not be a problem for me in black and white.

Music is a Universal language that doesn't matter if you understand the words or not. Great take on the challenge topic for this.

Angle is great, depth of field is great. Lighting seems to be the problem here. It is difficult to get the light right to show enough detail and not have either under or overexposed areas. The lighting is reasonable, but did need to be a bit better to get the top socres
