My childhood 3/4 size violin. 1960's W.Germany, handmade copy of Antonius Stradavirious. (E. R. Pfrehschner.) Took it out, set up lights and gave it a shot.

You really nailed this shot. You picked a perfect subject to get across the strength of this challenge and you executed the photo and the processing perfectly. Great job!
beautful contrast. very difficult to do under these silly basic editing rules. you managed to get good sharpness and contrast without blowing out the highlights or losing detail in the shadows. well done.
