IMHO, this one shows potential if a few more things were done. You have a nice rich, red and I like that it is a close-up showing off the instrumentation of the guitar. You have the start of good composing it just needed a little more. Stronger leading lines would boast the visual appeal - move the bridge to fill the bottom left corner so that the eye then follows the strings on the diagonal across the frame up to the top right corner. Lighting is the next thing to tackle to minimize or eliminate hard shadows by the volume & tone knobs if you can. Studio lights are nice but if you don't have that strategic placement of regular lights with daylight bulbs (to avoid any odd color cast that you would have to correct in PP). Using the same wattage you could place one light where you had it for the shot and then another directly on the opposite side to balance the light and minimalize the shadows. Lastly, only a portion of the bridge and a tuning knob are in sharp focus. Items in the extreme forefront and the backdrop are blurred - using an aperture higher than 8 can get you a greater DOF (depth of field) - but you might need a longer shutter speed depending on how much light is shining on the object. If low light, I'd highly recommend a tripod. |
