To me, the silhouetted bassoon player works and provides a good contrast from the window light. The interplay between the painting and the bass player works for me too. I knew I caught him looking at me (this is after all a rangefinder) and that's always tricky, sometimes it works with the subject looking at you and sometimes it doesn't. I think it works this time.
