 | Yep.  Searing intensity was what I wanted, and searing intensity was what I got, when I climbed up onto a table at Steve's restaurant and asked him to picture me naked.  I knew I had a good pic when I showed it to a couple of his friends and they sharply drew in their breath.  'Whoa, man, that's intense...' 
 Mission accomplished! hehehe...not afraid to use my feminine wiles when need be :-)

		| | Greetings from the Critique Club! 
 First things first ...  Definitely an intense portrait. A good fit for the quote selected and the challenge. Nothing conjures music like a guitar.  I love the drama created by the single eye stare and the balance between black and white created by hat, shirt and instrument.  Sitting here wishing I could hear the melody ...
 
 From a detail/clarity perspective ... Nice work on catching the details where it matters most (face and instrument to fit the quote) while allowing the rest to fade a bit into the background.  This offsets the intensity nicely with a little hint at the um ... Heat that created that fire.  Please play on....
