Good one, I would prefer a bit more DOF though - to see the strings clearly. This black thing in the lower right corner should have been cropped out.

I love the idea, but I don't love the background. I would have liked to have seen a darker background to contrast the lighter wood and really pull in the tension on the string. Also looks like the tip of the peg is more in focus than the string. Hey, it's digital - take 20 of the same shot - different focuses, different backgrounds - you're not wasting a thing by overkill. (and what's the braided thing in the corner?) ..Just keep plugging away - I like where you're going, just do more.. keep the good ideas coming..

I find the background to be a bit of a distractino from the main subject. It definatley doesn't add to the photo. Focus seems to be soft in most areas. I think I'd prefer focus on the strings as well. they are full of texture and detail and I like detail. The most in focus part I see is the peg and that has some distractions on it, which is kind of a disapointment. ~Heather~

The colours seem a bit flat, try boosting contrast in post processing a bit.
