A great Idea. I love the photo and will be marking it well for this reason. However, I feel that the light should start a little higher up so that it would look as though it was comming out of the saxaphone and not from behind. This is not a critisism just my opinion. Well done!

Nice job, I really like it. Not so fond of the orange background though.

What a great photo! Even though it's a statue, I can feel him playing!

The blue and orange complement nicely. The statue is an interesting subject. 9

Ouch, I have the same dead pixel problem with my camera (though mine generates about 10 of them--be thankful you only have one XP). Since it's basic editting I think dead pixels are easily forgiven, though.

Anyway, I really like this shot, the lighting is very well done. I love the viginette feel, and the top of the screw head really stands out. It's got a very abstract feel to it, but it doesn't seem sloppy or chaotic, either. A couple of the hotspots are a little distracting, but not too much to affect it overall. I only wish it were a little easier to make out the figure of the sax player.

Really good idea! If only the light were aligned with the bell of the horn it'd be fantastic. Not sur why you didn't re-shoot it until you got it spot on.

Hey I recognize this guy from duotones, still a good fire effect though.
