Introducing, the world famous, Dakota Plain Layzees...!
This is my first ever competition shot and was more of an experiment than anything else. My theme here was to portray a 'serious' band who want the music to speak louder than the hype (cos thats cheaper :), hence the small 'no frills' name and the large (and hopefully quality) guitar shot.
I experimented with the depth of field and got the result above. editing was done in Adobe elements.
Not sure what elese to say...! Hope ya like it. :)

This is my favorite band. These guys are geniuses. Instead of worrying about what instrumentation and arrangement goes for what song, they just grab whatever is lying near them at the time. In "Tennessee Lawnporn" Mitch is playing a cheesegrater. Somehow, they always made it work. Someone did start the recorder, didn't they? Okay, then, we'll just call it a rehearsal.
PS: Particularly like the format. I like the view you've taken that by making it just slightly larger than the standard album cover it will really stand out of the buyers collection :)
Very nice DOF and lighting. The test is a little too close the one of the strings. Otherwise, I like the use of space here - just the right amount used by the guitar.
