This is a great idea! I think it could be improved with a less "muddy" image and a bit different typography.

Comment by JMart:
This is my first serious entry on DPC (my previous 'sacred' entry was intended as a joke) and I'm a little surprised it didn't even make it out of _4_ territory. I really thought more people would be able to see it, as posthumous commented, with a unique sense of "false perspective". I am a string player and have taken (and seen) countless ordinary pictures of the beautiful lines on these instruments as strangeghost suggests, but I intended to catch something a little deeper in the finish of the instrument against that well defined f-hole.

To score well I supose subtle artistic intent may unfortunately be lost in the voting. I came here to learn the basics of composing and executing shots and, like any art, it's usually best to master the basics and "standard repertoire" before going out on a limb. Still, I like this shot.

Yup, just revisited this after several months and several entries that scored higher. I still like this a great deal and think it was badly under rated, although I understand now why it did not do well in this voting environment.

nice shot, but lacking of contrast. good POV and composition. not sure about rays and the lens flare. typeface and layout look a little cheap.

Great texture. I might've played with saturation of color a bit but I do like it. ;~D

Nice capture - Like the tones and nice sharpness but the composition is a little boring
