nice perspective, not sure I like the border method, its seems to be choking the composition.

Interesting DoF. I hate the border. Did you polish this brass up before shooting it?

I think I would have like to see the finger pushing devices a little more clearer.
I feek this instrument played once but just can't here right now. 5

I would like this shot better if someone was actually playing the trumpet. Nice clean shot, though.

I would like to see all the instrument in focus, so 5pt

Very, very, very, very, very distracting internal border.

Highlights on the brass maybe a bit too bright. Focus is an interesting choice; you almost can't tell if it's currently being played or not, which is good as the static musical instrument shots didn't grab me as well in terms of topic.

Would be better without the odd border. Love it tho. :) Lose the border for sure.

I dont like the border - it seems to be detracting from the shot rather than adding to it. I also wish that it wasn't quite so blurry in the background.

This border is distracting at the bottom here.

I really like the shallow depth of field and perspective in this.

Nice. The dof couldn't be helped in older to get close in.
