Amaing detail. Crisp clean lines. Good shot!

I like the curves in this musical shape. Nicely captured but I feel the white background does nothing to compliment the image. The reason is that the white is stark and sterile - no rich hues to compliment the wood tones and brownish golds seen on the instrument. I think a background of a rich brown velvet or a dark gold would greatly compliment the color hues - especially since those colors can convey a feeling & mood of rich, warm music spilling forth from this musical instrument.

Nice work; soft light brings out the detail in the wood and the curves.

Greetings from the *Critique Club*

First of all let me start off by saying that this is a excellent shot and fits the challenge very well. Your placement at 25th was a surprise to me, since I feel that this shot should have finished higher.

Now for my observations that may have helped this excellent shot do better: The lighting on the left side may be a little overpowering, and the focus is a little soft (I believe that this was intentional but may have cost points with the voters) Composition is very good and I cannot see a way that you could have improved in this area.

Again a beautiful image. Nicely done.
