 The trickiest part was getting the flute hanging at the wall on two thin strings (considering the price of the thing...). Post-editing consisted of cropping, spot-editing to remove string shadows, and level correction.

I expected more people to comment on this, but it is actually correct as it is: the flute is viewed from behind (you can see the thumb key and the g# key) so you also have to see the player/shadow from behind. That is, flute extending to the right. Being a flute player, for me this is the only 'natural' way to see a flute: I never look at myself from the front, and even in the mirror it looks like this!

This would be much better if the wall you were shooting on were more even toned. It might be just hte lighting, but I think it should be a uniform color. Slightly out of focus.

If only this weren't so grainy, this would definitely be up there in the rankings. Its just a little grainy and not quite as clear as it could be.

This is a very well-executed concept - shadow meets reality. What is supporting the flute?

Very good composition. The idea is original. Wish there was a bit more focus on the flute., but is very good considering the well defined shadow. "8"

original response, clever conception - the flute shadow is a bit distracting

This is a strong image. It is clever and fun, but a little compromised by focus and the reflection / shadow of the flute.
