The Bridge at the end of my Strat
Roseytone
Critique by Silver Fox
Composition in my opinion is splendid.
The photograph in this case certainly meets the Challenge and shows some originality and newness of thought on your behalf.
I’m going to get a bit negative right away. I don’t like your shadow in the picture.(is that you?) It distracts, and you shouldn’t be there! Now the trees - that’s a bit different, their a bit more acceptable, but you’re from the U.K., aren’t there a lot of bridges over there that you could have included as a reflection on the guitar?? And what are the two poles (?) beside you?
Visual impact has a great appeal, especially with the colors, beautiful bright Red, nice clean White, good focus and sharpness on the strings and the screws and the rest of the hardware.
The black background is also a nice choice.
I’m really sorry to see you score so low in this Challenge. All I can say is to keep it simple the next time and get rid of the distracting objects, which catch the voter’s eyes’. Hope this helps!
Hope to see more of your photographs next week, have fun at it,
Regards,

Fun idea, though the bridge is not highlighted in any way. Is there a way to make our attention rest on the bridge instead of being distracted by shadowy reflections?
I like the black background. I love the idea of the 'bridge' on your axe... the reflections distracted me a lot. Took it from a GREAT photo to a real good photo, imo.
Nice crisp clear photo. But I cannot score this photo very high. I'm a Gibson man myself so it would be unethical to do so. j/k! Nice image and good use of creative license for the bridge thing. This makes me fear seeing an oral appliance now for "bridge". Good Luck!
This is a nice twist to the bridges them. Very nice shot. Can't really make out what this is in the reflection but I think it is a little distracting. I think this would have been a stronger guitar bridge shot had you used artificial lighting and minimized any reflection in the gloss finish of the guitar. Good luck with the challenge!
it's a pretty guitar :) Since the theme of this challenge is bridges, I may have tried to make the 'bridge' of you guitar a little more of the subject of the photo. When I look at this image, I don't think 'bridge' as much as i think 'red guitar'... - setzler
Nice colours that you\'ve captured on the guitar. I like the reflections of the tree\'s that you\'ve been able to capture. Nice and clear focus, good quality shot. Really unique idea that you came up with. . .
LOL!! You know, from challenge to challenge I keep trying to think of ways to use a pic of my Strat but haven't been able to yet!! Good job! Need to rotate the pic to the right BTW.
Perhaps you should have focuses more on the bridge, and less on the rest of the guitar. Also the reflections in the guitar are kind of distracting. Other than that it's a nice image - good colour, good focus and fairly good composition.
Good idea to break away from what everyone else is offering, but I think you could have created a more interesting angle to view your guitar and I am not sure that the reflections are helping any.
