Ahh, good, a guitar picture that actually features a player. This was one of the ideas I ended up rejecting (you did it better than I would have anyhow), so obviously I think it's on topic. I like the composition, though I would have liked to see maybe a little more lighting on the front of the guitar/fretboard. What is being played?

I really like the photo, although I am not a fan of the crop. A little more of the sound hole would help portray "sound"

One of the better instrument shots of this challenge, I think. I love your dynamic composition, and the tones are wonderful. The concentration on the subject's face and she slight blur of the background arm really make you feel as if he's playing and convey the music of the shot. Congrats. A winner. 10

I like how you've captured the intensity of the music on the musician's face.

very nice shot. great diagonal compostion and choice of b+w. not sure i care for the blur on the arm, but im being picky, it really looks devilish the way it is.

I like this because you actually showed the movement in the finger... if not for that, I would just have thought the guy was sitting there holding a guitar. Nicely composed as well, I like the close up perspective. Great contrasts in this photo. It kind of bothers me that the arm in the back gets slightly lost, but it's not a huge thing. Otherwise absolutely beautifully done. -9-
