Great capture, very tangible!

As to your question.
To the viewer the subject is not clear. The reason for this is actually quite simple. Compositionally as well as emotionally the left hand is the subject: here you can see the actual marimba player making his/her music. So this part should have been in focus.
Unfortunately the much less interesting right stick is in focus. Because the right hand is not visible, the stick doesn't convey anything more than it's mechanical function, e.g. it's lacking emotion compared to the left hand.
