I thought this might be yours. You have the lighting off to a "T". Fantastic image and congrats on top 20.

Lovely mandolins. Colors and shapes weave a magic all their own. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

wonderful shot...I love the balance and "humanist" of the instruments. I guess you saw that too with your title...very well done.

I love this photo! My brother plays mandolin semi-professionally, so I would love to hang something like this in my home!!

This shot is wonderful. I like the composition. It feels "complete" even with the edges at the top and bottom cropped out. The black background is nice too; helps to give the mandolins a nice "glow"

I would have liked to see something soften this composition a bit - otherwise it's a good take on the challenge.
