The lighting looks like bright sunligh. I think a different indoor/diffused outdoor light will be more "soothing".

Oh, and this model of yours brian is another souce of inspiration for me. Looks fantastic!!!

I do not support Bush! Nor Saddam! Long live UN!

Music and colour somehow sooth my mind. I think the red hued trumpet is the most interesting and the gold one is the most realistic. Great job on everything.

Here is a silver version of the trumpet. thanks for your input,
Brian

wow, the dof is nice, but maybe a bit greater f-stop so the end of trumpet is sharper. or you want it half sharp? if so, decrease the f-stop a bit

lookin' nice brian.. :p
i'd say to decrease the f-stop abit.. should give a nicer touch..

Sounds good, thanks for the tip guys When I get a chance I will try to post a new image.

I have been inspired to model a Trombone now!

That looks amazing, and you did that in your spare time!?

Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win your still retarded.

Thanks for the comments guys, yeah, I spent a little time on it, but I haven't had much else time to work on it lately. been working on my ET scene and my entry in this mo's challenge. But maybe I can work something into my demo with it. I don' t know. Thanks for all of your input though.
