I would have used a white background and worked to remove the red eye by moving the light source a little to make this en even more fun picture than it already is.

Either this is OOF or your shallow DOF is to shallow for your own good for this challenge. I can't really determine where the focus is. Maybe in an 8x10 format this would work but at this resolution...

Comment by Jaguar:
the lighting is too much and there is not really a main focus subject on the instrument.

I would have put the focus on something else. But that's only me...

This was a nice idea. I think the foam is what bothers me in this shot, maybe try another background next time? Nicely done none the less. Good luck!

Comment by jmsetzler:
The shallow depth of field worked out in this shot, but the part of the image that is in focus is insignificant in terms of the entire subject. The lighting is also a bit inappropriated to create a visually appealing image.

Tool!

An idea that has been picked up widely by challengers. Look at other entries and see how they manage to do this better. Lighting, texture, focus and framing need more thought here. I get impression this was done in a hurry but given another 30min of experimenting (which digital cameras allow), you could have got a much better shot.
