I like this idea very much. I think the focus on the hand is off a bit an while I know that the instrument is played with both the use of bot hands, I think you might have considered not having the second thumb covering the valves and having the small place to hold it steady. Also the background is just too close in color to the horn and a richer darker color might have been better.
I won't mention the typo in the title, as I'm sure many people already have.... oops I mentioned it! Did you try the photo in B&W with a little extra contrast? I think that would give it a nice stylish appearence. It's good how it is but I think it needs something extra.
I really like the subtle differences in metal coloring. The neutral background really makes the subject pop. Looks a tiny bit blurry but not bad enough to take away from the shot. Oh, but I'll complain about the title - I can see 6 fingers, the 5 obvious ones and the nearly hidden pinky wearing the ring. :^)
I like this shot but wish the left hand finger wasn't seen. ..that or maybe shot more from above. ? Anyway I like the shot, good luck in the challenge.
