 Pretty basic concept. A 2 sec exposure. In ps-rotate, crop, cloned out a glare spot on guitar and small light spot in lower left, levels, curves, a very lite bit of dodging and burning, hard light layer with opac dropped, smart sharpen, resize, sfw.
thanks for checking out my pic :-)

Nice concept, though the hue is too red.

I like the use of the blur here - it speaks to the essence of what is heppening when a guitarist is working their fret board hard.

And keeping the guitar sharp, with all the blur in the hand, makes the shot technically well executed.

now, if the blur had been limited to the fingers, with maybe some conspicuous speed blur on some of the strings, that would have been a masterpiece.

Wonderful capture...I like the still hand. Almost ying and yang.

The skin tone is a little weird, but I like it overall.

an interesting take on this challenge, I like the idea. The white balance is very warm, I think more natural tones would have been a good choice for this.

Nice warm colours. The one hand moving and the other still is a nice way of composing the image.

The color cast is displeasing to my eye. And why is he moving his left hand and not his right? Is he playing or pretending?
