Does it meet the challenge.... hmm I don't know... My personal opinion is no. However from your comments many say yes. It looks to me from your score it was pretty well divided. with the yes group winning. My reason for saying no is this. I feel that Brokeh is the element of having an Out of Focus back ground with and having somthing to do with light. The "object" of your focus gradualy goes out of focus. You don't have an out of focus background in my opinion. But like I said it apears the voters disagree for the most part.
Lighting: wonderfull lighting, you alow the weiwer to see all of the rich tones in the wood grain, and I feel that placing the light to alow the reflecion of the pegs on the woods was agood choise. It adds a little more depth to the shot.
Color: I could not ask for more great color.
Composition and framing: I am happy with these aspects as well. The border works well with the image.
Overall: I'm not sure why but this photo gives me nausia. Not that it's a bad image. But the angle or the fade or the combination just dosn't sit well with me. I get a feeling of vertigo. Yet this is a very well shot and thought out peice of photographc art. It is technicaly has almost no imperfections. Yet just does not click with me.
So in conclusion I feel that some might not have seen this as fitting the challenge. This might have had a bit to do with this not making the top 10. Aside from the debate on what is brokeh.. this is a great image and I hope to see more like it. Good luck in future challenges..
I absolutely love how the stillness of the guitar body is offset by the motion of the strings! The pattern you have captured from that motion is incredible! Viewpoint is excellent and makes a very strong composition. Black background is just right and echoes the dark shadows within the lower half of the frame. One of my top 3 entries in this challenge.
Hmmm, I'm a sucker for good guitar shots, but there's something about this that doesn't quite work for me. The pegs and bridge are in focus but the gradient toward defocused fretboard seems distracting and off. I love the soft tones and crop, but somehow having so much of the guitar out of focus seems wrong. Still, a good interpretation of the challenge.
This is a fantastic picture, I like the sharp, in-focus foreground with subtle reflections of the knobs and the strings escaping into the background. I think that the subtle flares one third off the top of the picture work very well here. (10)
