I like it, - a nice shot.

I would suggest you try to de emphasize the fingers at the left, - Ive tried to darken them a little in the mod, - and also sharpened quite a bit to brig out those highlights.

Another approach may be to try a toned mono, and Ive done this in mod2.



Regards

Hello, Peter. I like your arty shot very much. The saxophone is an intricate instrument and photographs well. I like the way the light catches it and enhances all the curves. I feel that the bell is too close to the right frame edge, and have done a modification where I added some canvas to that side. I also did a levels adjustment and sharpened the picture. I used colour balance because the image developed some blue in the hands, but it made them overly pink, so I desaturated them in my second mod. Not sure which I prefer.
Pamela.

Thankyou for your mods and helpful notes, I think I prefer mod2, whilst still liking the soft tones of the original, I also like the sharpness and luminance of your mod.

Great feedback, really helps

Peter
