Alto - by D. Glenn Arthur, Jr.
Many times I am drawn to an image that challenges my perspective a bit.
Forces me to see in ways that I normally wouldn't. Glenn's image here takes
me down that path. I am pleased by the fact that I can't see the face of
the person holding the sax. It pushes my attention on the instrument
itself. That being said, there are a few elements here that work for me and
don't work for me. I like the star filter effect on the small reflections,
but it is too strong on the main reflection coming from the hand. I like
the coloration. It comes across a bit more dreamy or abstract. I would
prefer to not see the watch - it does nothing to add to the photo. I would
also like to see an angle on the sax from corner to corner instead of
straight up and down.
I have given some nits to pick at but by and large I enjoy this image. It
certainly required some creative thought and preparation and I think that
the effort is well worth it. Good job Glenn!
