I've wanted to play saxophone since I was a little kid, so a few months ago I finally decided to get a sax and take lessons. It isn't a hard instrument to play a simple song on, but I'm still far away from playing as good as Clarence Clemmons or that guy from Madness.
For today's photo I wanted to try something new. I never done a silhouette before and it was a good learning experience. It still however took some messing around with levels to get the blacks and the whites like in the picture above. And if anybody thinks the area around my eyes looks weird: those are glasses ;)

Absolutely awesome image! Silhouette is sharp and the bit of gold highlights the saxophone beautifully. Very well done. :)

This is awesome...perfect!
Great silhouette, I like how a little golden glow is still visible.
Great silhouette, nice touch with the golden glow...I can definitely hear the sound of Sax when I see this pic. Nice work!
This is totally awesome! Well done getting that lovely white background and the total dark shadow. What did you use as a background? Nice big window? I do like the slight traces of gold in the 'horn' and I don't think anyone could mistake that thing on your face for anything but glasses! Awesome work and my fave of yours so far, I reckon!
Awesome! I think this one is frame worthy, well done.
Gorgeous silhouette with just a touch of gold on the bell. Very nice!
Thanks for all the kind comments. I am really proud of this photo.
I actually used a white wall as the background. I put two halogen lamps on it and used the wall as a huge reflector. I stood in front of the of the lamps, so I didn't get any light on me. I didn't even think of using a window. I must remember that for next time, that's probably easier :)
Lovely silouette. Great pic.
PERFECT!!!!!!
This shot is just plain fantastic. My fave so far, you and the sax look so cool :)
