I should have known this was yours. Should have placed a good deal higher in my opinion. I read the comments and it seems some people didn't like the fact that it was set up. I thought about that too, but then I thought that by themselves, the letters are accidental. All you did was align them. Again, like on your recebt action shot, I can see the wrinkles of your jumper ever so slightly.

Clever photo, but not "accidental". Title ("set-up") contradicts challenge theme.

For a staged shot this is exceptional. You might want to mess with lighting some more, I think the light on the sax is not catching all the instrument. A diffuse yellow light may add to the colour of skin and bring out the shine of the sax. Just an opinion thou.

Cool, very nice. The only problem I have with this picture is the hands. They look too set up. It reminds of a dancing pose (flamenco or so) but it's too obvious they were formed to make a Y. Technically perfect, the crop is a little too tight at the bottom though. 10.

the only critique would be the mouthpiece of the saxaphone is vanished into the background but its an outstanding image nevertheless..well done!

Nicely done, but it looks a bit to manufactured to me. 6

Clever - clever - clever! Fun composition and great use of the hands/forearms. Can't imagine how long it took to set up - but it was worth it.

would have enJOYed more if the title did more than state the obvious. ' Musically Inspired'? Maybe it's just the performing artist in me yearning for a shout out.

I think you over did the challenge, you took thinks not indended to be letters, except for the hands, and turned them into things that are intended to be letters.

This is a nice image. I like how you formed the word. It would have been really neat if you were able to make the entire word out of intruments. Nice work.

Accidental? Just show the sax next time.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/06/2005 12:38:24 AM
handy work seems deliberate rather than accidental.. anyway the capture is great
  Photographer found comment helpful.

...and the agony of taking a beating for it. I like it, but good luck.
And couldn't you have gotten a music stand or something to make the Y?
