Comment by mchalmers:
Thanks for the comments everyone. Obviously I could have been happier with the score. :)

From the comments, I think I know why this scored so low.

First of all, the paint brush wasn't obvious in the picture.. The head was too small and not 'paint brushy' enough I guess. It wasn't lit very well because the black paint was too glossy and ended up causing too much shine with any amount of light.

Second, as Melethia pointed out, the picture looked computer generated. I actually take this as quite a compliment considering how low-tech the shoot actually was!

Once again, a great learning experience!

Interesting concept. I like the light trail effect in the stars and the emphasize on Orion. Is that a phone cord?

Looks like a lovely instrument (and your title has me humming a VERY old song!). An angled composition might add even more interest to the image.

very interesting image, i like it. perhaps the pencil is a bit too dark and the main star is too in middle, but a good idea.

it looks like you painted with light. And that is a cool bass guitar. :)

To me, this looks more like computer generated art than a photograph, though I'm sure it is a photograph (or it wouldn't be here - duh.)
