This is the 93rd out of 94 attempts for this challenge... I struggled with this shot for several reasons. First of all, my guitar is not perfect. She has been 'rode hard and put up wet' way too many times. She still loves me though :) Getting the lightings anywhere close to decent was a challenge for me with the tools I have at my disposal. I hope someone likes this photograph...

Nice background, weird angle. I think the whole guitar needs to be in view to really sell it.

Well? Does Jackson only make THAT part of the guitar? I find myself wanting to strain to see what the rest of the guitar looks like, if this was your intention - A+ :) good clarity, good lighting!!

Looks to me like you are selling guitars. Good job.
05/12/2002 03:20:00 PM
How do you get the blue background? I like it.

A nice shot of an important functional difference in this brand (are those fine-tuning screws above the nut?) but not the overall design.

If I were doing the whole ad (I've done more design than photography), I'd probably use the two nice spaces you left to composite-in tiny images of the whole guitar (front/back/side) -- this is a very good base image.

Nice shot but I would like to see the whole product rather than the headstock.
05/10/2002 01:48:00 AM
Nice and clear. Slight blue cast on the fretboard. Maybe a more interesting angle?
05/09/2002 03:30:00 PM
picture is neat but boring. could have made better use of the angles in the product
05/09/2002 02:44:00 PM
Very effective. I like the way the light gets brighter to the right of the guitar.
05/08/2002 09:49:00 PM
top 5 excellent!
05/08/2002 07:57:00 AM
right on. im a musician too. i play ibz and gibson. good technical pic.
05/08/2002 06:07:00 AM
Great shot love the clarity, one of my highest ratings
05/07/2002 11:49:00 PM
clean product shot
05/07/2002 09:05:00 PM
Nice crisp shot. Bordering on being over sharpened? There appears to be a blue cast introduced on the subject from either the lighting, post processing, or a reflection? Good effort though.
05/07/2002 07:51:00 PM
beautiful color and good composition, would love to see a little more light on the label and a bit sharper focus, but all in al a nice shot
05/07/2002 02:57:00 AM
I really like this one. The shapes are great, well framed, and the colour of the backdrop is daringly vivid :) I'm not sure how it sells the guitar, but it's a cool photograph.
05/06/2002 11:05:00 PM
nice photo. i would have liked to see the whole guitar though
05/06/2002 07:40:00 PM
Very nice. One suggestion - If the light were brighter on the part of the instrument with your client's name, and a bit darker in the scratched fret, you might sell more guitars with the ad. Still very good.
05/06/2002 07:23:00 PM
THERE's the guitar pic. I almost though for a second that someone wasn't going to do one...but no.
05/06/2002 06:00:00 PM
Nice lighting and composition. Well done!
05/06/2002 05:34:00 PM
Good shot, I like it.
05/06/2002 01:35:00 PM
what is it with guitars every week
05/06/2002 11:09:00 AM
Good photo, quality advert, low "gotcha" value. Maybe the background could have more "interesting". Photo 10 Advert 9 total 9
05/06/2002 10:06:00 AM
Maybe a tighter crop and some extra light around Jackson? It really doesn't tell me much or make me think they are special. It is a nice photo.
05/06/2002 08:00:00 AM
an ibanez would have been better....
05/06/2002 05:57:00 AM
The lighting is perfect. The balance and colors just work. GREAT job !
05/06/2002 03:43:00 PM
would have liked to see more of what I may buy, great contrasts
