I agree with srbrubaker; this is a very fine tribute to two great musicians. Its "backbeat" lighting, bold tonal range and nonconformist composition is so very apposite. Bravo!

Lovely. Photos of instruments crop up in challenges with considerable regularity because wooden instruments can be quite beautiful. Rarely is the treatment quite so inspired as this one. The lighting through miniblinds creates wonderful textures on top of the wood. There is a kind of complex visual conversation going on between these instruments that deftly parallels the musical conversations between the musicians for which the photo is named. Extraordinary

The guitar in the background is a bit ditracting to me. Perhaps a smaller DOF to isolate the violin (or maybe it is a voila) and slightly blur the guitar would have worked better. That said, I do like the lighting on both instruments (7)

Interesting. I like the light and shadow very much. Imaginative perspective. Nice crop.

Very nice, the subtle difference in the colors and tones of the wood is wonderful.

very nice. Some may say that the shadow lines distract, I'm torn about it. The big problem I see is how bright the violin/fiddle (whatever) is at the top.
