It's fun to watch the musicians when they're not playing their instruments.

LilGunn from BSB,

Hey Evie, nice photo!
The out of focus trombone is a bit distracting but I think you captured the middle guy's natural expression really well. It helps that he's cute too! lol Also, it wld have been more interesting if you focused only on him. The girl on the right seems bored and doesn't seem to add anything to the picture... but I think if you included more of the guy's instrument (I'm talking abt his trombone! lol) it would help put him in the context of being a musician. I dunno if it would be possible at the time but that's just my two cents. :)

Hi Evie, I like this photo. I actually think the girls concentration works well; her (serious) expression plays off well with the other serious expression behind the boy, which highlights the boy's playful look even more. The musicians in the foreground, and background, acts as a nice (natural) frame for the boy. Lovely composition, very nice contrast Evie. - Raymond.

Very nice expression and attitude. The face is so bright that I didn't see the trombone out of focus as LilGunn spoke about. Then it's not distracting for me.

I really like the composition, and the three very different personalities you captured.

This one is marvellous, the way the boy looks and the girl tries not to respond (or not noticing him)! From an artistic point of view: the atmosphere created by the vertical shiny tubes, really superb!
