I Think it is a great shot and the provocative appeal while hiding behind the instrument of it is what linked it to school days for me.
Nice job.

Remarkable lighting. Cool guitar, but I don't like the desat effect. 7

Very nice lighting and use of selective desaturation.

Lovely picture. I just doubt you are still in school days :)

Are you the teacher or the student? :D On the technical side, the lighting is a little hot at the top, otherwise it's an interesting photo with a nice play on light/shadows. Good luck.

The light not this well

What does this have to do with school days?

A good idea to show an interplay between shapes of a human and a musical instrument. I don't like the colour, though.

Very nice...

The arm up the top looks a bit bright and I would like to be able to see the whole of the subjects eye, otherwise - FAB!

Would have rated it higher if not for the hot spot making it difficult to differentiate between the guitar neck and the womans arm

this is a wonderful image! i absolutely love the flow the entire photo takes on. the lighting is awesome for the type of emotion you are trying to convey and adds to the curves the image creates as a whole. wonderful touch in keeping the guitar's color. this is awesome =)

THe idea is good but the photo needs some burning up top.

Lovely composition, great lighting. I really wish I would have gone to college for music instead of Chemistry....

I really like what you're trying to do here, I wish your upper arm wasn't so "hot" with the lighting. This is really a work of art!

the light is just too hot at the top there - not quite sure what naked girls have to do with school days - but it's been a while since I've been in school :-) 7

Some might argue this tight crop but I would like it if you left more black on either side. Maybe 375px W 640px H and also if the top wasn't chopped. Otherwise I like it, but did you selectively mask the guitar? Thats a no go in basic.
