Nice subject. Would have liked to see a little better lighting and DOF.

Why is this titled 'Diamond Strings'? Considering that this is a 'Rope' challenge that might have been a mistake...nonetheless, on the serious side - what's the connection? Is it the knots used or something?

As for the image itself I like the way you've put it together. The layout is divided in a ROT manner, the lighting is good with focus hitting the sweet spot of the rope/cord/string, and the DOF fadeout at the bottom works well.

Good luck in the challenge.

Took me a while to find the rope. Not very strong theme. The DOF can be improved slightly. 6 for me.

Trying to figure out what the rope is in this. I don't think it is the drum head and strings below it seem out of focus.

Nice angle. Maybe the lighting could be a little different to bring out the rope more and a little more focus on the whole image.
