Bass guitar... again. Shot with canon 70-200 2.8 L lens. Shot at 2.8 and 200mm for shallow DOF. Lit with a sigma Super 500 flash from above with my homemade softbox on it.

while this is an interesting image, it does appear to be a little out of balance. maybe it's an optical illusion, or maybe it is a bit skewed. i like the idea and the treatment, and hope this does well for you. good luck!
The perfectionist in me says that this is a bit off kilter. I like your idea, quite a bit and find the dof to be a cool choice but the top fret probably should be parallel to the top border.
Interesting abstract, great bokeh. It bothers me though that the neck isn't in the centre of the frame, it looks unintentional. Could do with an appropriate border.
At least a different photo ! It surely looks even better in its original size.
Poor comment I know , for a very original B & W study , i just hope that other voters have seen the quality of your photo !
One of my favs !
