good idea but, I think the extraneous stuff on the upper right should have been cropped out to make the focal point more intense. I would have also preferred having the bright light on top of the pipe toned down.

Good one. I think that if you had cropped the empty space to the right this would have been an 8.

great shot, especially considering the camera :D

this has great lines and really good color to it. i would suggest adding another light from underneath and behind to further define the thickness of the guitar. right now it seems to blend into the background and looks almost fake-thin.

i'm sure the graphics on the guitar are cool, from this angle they do kind of distract. while the colors are great, the darker splotches detract from the photo overall.

finally, the backdrop should either be more prominent or removed. the blue ghosting in the background is almost enough to be distracting.

The swing set is distracting from your "point" of focus.

Yahoo, tater. I was one of your 72 sixes. This shot just oozes "drama"; considering the equipment, you done great!

Mayday ! Mayday !
