Hi there.

Yes, I do play, but I'm definately out of practice. Been playing since '88. I used to have a Benge 3x, but sold it a few years ago. The one pictured is a Kings student model - a bit beat up.

Hi again.

Does anyone have any comments negative or positive to provide.
Quite a few reads with no responses in regards to the photo itself. I assume it's because it's boring, or static, or uninteresting?

I'm trying to learn so I do need feedback. Problems with composition? PP? I can post the original later tonight if that would help.

I REALLY like it. Love the strong vert. lines that repeat the vert of the horn itself . And the placement in the frame of the mouth piece in the lighter area. The over all tone matches the mood and supports your visual statement. VERY WELL DONE...I even think the centrally located horn adds to the overall feel of the image.
