Whether or not it might be a visual approach of my preferrence, it's allways interesting to see people have a particular tendency in style. It makes the body of work more cohesive, and most of all it makes it unique as an enthity within the wastness of the global photo archives.

Your stylistic tendency seems to be the magnification of a single focal point, whether it be a biking sign, or a street portrait, you choose a subject/object and compose it by giving it presedance in focal sharpness to the remainder of it's surroundings. Here it worked particularly well. I am only assuming that you have some l33t Canon glassware, because this amplitude of dof disstortion only comes with telephoto and the alike.

I really love the crop, and the way you framed it around the pom-pom hat of the instrumentalist and then followed along the grip and ended with the horn. The colors strike me as particularly well balanced in this exposure, and I really enjoy all the tones of blue intersected by few golden glimpses of other instruments. The reflection in the metal is a special treat-eye candy, that will never go out of fashion, but my favourite detail actually, has to be the highlight along the contours of her face. It's very rare and very beautiful.
