This reminds me of a photo in the archives at DPC... it may even be the same place.
Aha, it's 'Round' by albright1, and is of the Jefferson Memorial. That one got a red ribbon because of the great use of light and shade. The crop was very effective. Although yours is an attractive shot, there is nothing here in the way of light or composition to lift this above a 6 for me. Score: 6

Pick-A-Repetition
by thelsel

Comment:
Very interesting take on the challenge. I'm not sure I like the headstock precisely splitting the frame in two though. Well lit. I feel that you could have thought about how to compose the shot to mirror the idea of repetition in areas of your frame other than the printed music. I don't think the repeated tuning pegs mirror the idea of repetition in the music. 7

Adagio
by DougPaz

Comment:
Shame it's so noisy. And it doesn't look like Adagio to me. The lighting gives a bit of glare in places. 5

Time repeats itself
by Cheerz

Comment:
Doesn't really enter into the spirit of the challenge for me. Impressive photo though, if a little in need of sharpening. 4

Smile!

Comment:
Nice idea, but the lighting is resulting in a lot of glare from the balloons, and unattractive shadows on the subject's face. 4

Pick a card, any card.....
by gilesletheren

Comment:
Great idea, shame about the lighting which doesn't flatter the skin tone of the hand. The thumb is exerting too much pressure which is resulting in a yellow tint at the end of the thumb. Bit too much glare on the card to the left of the frame. 6

A real shame that the person on the right has his face obscured by the horse in the foreground. 5

Bit too much like a snapshot. Shame the sky and background is badly burnt out. 4
