Choice woods with very controlled textures. Lovely image.

Just a few days ago talked with my girlfriend that I should photograph her guitar for something like this! Like it a lot. Your picture, I mean. ;)

good composition - would have preferred sharper focus or something on the strings - 6

Great arrangement. Crisp and clear. Is that little border from a rotate? Love the subject.

Technically good pic but no texture feel for me. I am looking for 3d feel and this says grain but smooth.

Comment by dmleman:
I really do appreciate the comments!

Although it may not be immediately apparent it was raining and that was the mood I was trying to capture... people having to wait for a light to change. I thought the lady with the umbrella would tell part of this story which is why she was left in. The guy on the other side of the street looks in a bad mood although that's hard to see in the small print.

There is not a lot of time to compose when the light doesn't stay red for that long. I was also a bit concerned about getting the camera wet.

I find that for the few challenges I've entered so far I don't get an idea until the last day or two and then it's a bit of a rush to put together and it rarely turns out to be something that I'm all that happy with, but I guess we all work under the same conditions.

Perhaps next year when I'm retired my entries will get better.

this is a tough shot for the challenge. as the sign is not really the subject, the image relies on the title for a point of reference. maybe if you had set up the shot slightly to the left, or had cropped out the person with the unbrella. just a slight change in perspective could make all the difference in the world.

Focus is a bit soft. Appropriate to the theme.
