The color of the violin is bold and vibrant in the picture - and unfortunately that is the only thing that characterizes this composition. The background is distracting and offers nothing to the composition - it detracts. If you could have found a background that was one solid complementary color and smooth it would have improved this composition - as it is you have two background colors as well as the pattern of the wood that competes for attention with the main subject which gets drowned out. I think the pose of the model could have complemented the curves of that violin such that it would add to the visual interest of the composition. She already has the curves that mimic those found in the basic shape of the violin - you just needed to play it up a tad more. I would have had her in the same pose but oriented the frame to be vertical so that her full body would be in the shot. She would still cradle the base of the violin in the one arm, but her other arm would be casually 'thrown up' above her head with her palm open -like a dance move. The straight angle of the upraised arm would further invoke the comparison of the woman to the violin. The curves of the body matches the basic curves of the violin and the outstretched arm the neck of the violin. If you have the time and energy, I would encourage you to shot this composition again for it has great potential.

Interesting combination of elements, but the tilt detracts.
