Not sure if it fits the challenge but I do like the shot. It is almost abstract in nature with only the one side of the guitar showing.

Great colors on this mallard. Just wish you could see the whole beak. I think that would be the only thing I would change. Great job.

Lovely fun shot. Good range of tones. 9.

Comment by Caine:
A nice attempt to break with the convention of tree branches, and as a nature shot it's very effective. But the wire has been lost by a combination of the strong light which has bled it away, the narrow focus which doesn't pick out any point of the wire, and the action of the birds which completely dominate the composition and rob the attention of the viewer from the branch theme. If they were all settled in a uniform line with the shallow DOF picking out something more subtle like a brid with it's head turned, or under it's wing preening it would have been much closer to the challenge.

I really like the the detail in this you must have used a small apeture. I think it would look better in black and white, and I am not a big fan of B&W, but I think this would have an Ansel Adams feel.

Great close up. I agree that I would leave the front eyebrow in focus, it just looks odd to me. I do love the way you captured the eye.
