I find the building a bit distracting. I think a view looking through the roundabout, so it appears like a yellow forest might have been interesting.

I like the idea, but the school house sidewalk shelter really screws up my eye.

I like the idea here and enjoy the shot but I think I would like to see the playground equipment more close up....I don't feel like the building in the background adds to the image.

Good capture. I'm not sure about the building background, too sharp, I suppose. Or it doesn't relate to each other. If so, it's not in my reference.

Nice one.... I'd recommend desaturating all the colors but the yellow and it might be really cool. Nice pic!! 7.

I like this shot, because it tells a story without asking. The picture is perfect. Good job.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) This is one of the strongest compositions in the challenge this week. The balance between the straight line of the strings and the curve of the hole is powerful! The detail is wonderful, I almost feel that I could strumb the strings.

(2) BACKGROUND The background is very dark, just the proper background to show the strings off to their best advantage. This would not have worked as well with anything else.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL I have read your comments and see that many people have picked up on the soft focus. I can see that but to me it is just not that disturbing. Other than that, your camera work is outstanding. The composition is extremely good.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is very good. Saturation is good. The colors here are really quite wonderful.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo a very good job of meeting the challenge. This may be the very best of the guitar photos.

I know I critiqued your photo last week and I will understand if you would like someone elses viewpoint. Personally I think this is excellent!
