My glass guitar

it looks as if you used an actual guitar for the background. A pretty thoughtful and unnoticed touch if it is the case. To get a more blurry background effect try placing whatever you want blurry much further behind the object in focus (in this case the blue object behind your red guitar). I don't know if your camera has manual aperture settings but if it does the larger the aperture 'A' (smaller the number) you set the easier it is to blur things. If you can't set it manually I think a trick is to use "night" mode and the camera should set itself automatically to its largest aperture thus achieving the same effect. The blur effect is often used to make your picture's main subject stand out which in turn usually makes a better photograph. Try it out you may find it to your liking! Good work!

hmm interesting. I can't decide if I like the left edge. I'm thinking there should be some space to the left of it. I like the bench as a place of focus. The lighitng is ok though not exciting. Nice curve and flow to the composition. the two focus points seem to be the column and the bench but the balance between them appears to be askew. Check the foreground too next time and clean it up -there's litter by the bench which detracts from the picture. Good work. 6.

this is a good frame within a frame. The photo would be improved i think if the subject was exposed normally. perhaps it wasn't an appealing subject so you had to silhouette it.
