Very fine use of lines and diagonals. I like how the strings are diagonal in one direction and the bridge (?) is diagonal in another, and they meet at the focus point. This is a very strong photograph. Good luck!

Firstly, the colours feel very orange/red, which may have been due to your lighting or the WB of the camera. Secondly, there doesn't seem to be a focal point - this would have been a good opportunity to use a shallower DoF to highlight one part of the guitar. Also, if the shot was rotated anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise if you're american), the strings could have led the eye from the top left corner down into the image.

That all said, I do like this shot :o)

Great closeup. I would however had found a less busy background for the upper left corner. That is the only thing holding this photo back. Well done otherwise.

Very nice! I love the color of the guitar body, and I'm amazed at the lack of DUST on this! It's so clean!

Very neat perspective. Lighting is a bit harsh in the lower left.

The angle you chose works well.

Comment by LindaLee:
What an interesting angle! Good lighting, interesting composition, and I love the repetition of the different forms, as well as the light and dark tones. I also like your border. It sets the photo off well without overwhelming it. Moderate emotional impact for me, but nevertheless a terrific shot. 8. lhall

Nice clarity, and colour. The intended compostion would have been great if you blacked out the background (upper left conner) and reduced reflections (upper right conner). Otherwise great.

I don't like that there is background here. I think I would've cropped it out completely, or if it was interesting enough, like backstage or something, shown it a little more. Good crisp clear photo though. The quality is definitely there. - Inspzil
