This image is the slide of my sons trombone(and his hand). we filled it with a little more water then would collect under normal conditions. I set back about 2 feet and had the trombone as close to the neutral backround as possible without shadow. The main problem with brass is the reflection of the flash so it took several angles and positions to find the right one. I struggled a bit with how to crop this picture. I also have it with the entire hand and a bit more of the slide, but decided it was more dramatic this way. Thanks for your interest in this picture. Bill

I like your composition Bill, a very clean, simple provoking of the challenge. Tell us more about it?

Uniform toning really shows the harmony bewtween the artists hand and his instrument. Like the angle coming into the playing field and of course the fall off from the opening...Interesting and different shot,Bill well exposed~Irish

Bill, I really like the toning and clarity of this shot...and the way you made good use of the positive space here. Well lit, exposed, and composed...an interesting photo to ponder. Music never "sounded" so good to my "eyes" :) Clever, creative, and well done, Bill. MFC
