From the title I understand that you deliberately have only the end of the stand in focus, but it doesn't work for me, it keeps looking like an accidently out-of-focus picture of a singer.
Since the microphone stand is the only thing in focus, I would tend to believe that is your subject. It is a line but the background is much more interesting. Don't think this works. Would have been much more effective for me if the man's face or the guitar was in focus.
Hmm... I'm a fan of putting normally interesting subjects in the background, but I don't think you have found anything interesting in a microphone stand. A good idea that might use some improvement, I think.
This was a good idea with both the lyrics and guitar strings meeting the LINES theme. The (auto?) focus on the base of the mic doesn't work for me though. ...4...
i think that the guitar's strings should have been in focus to really capture the 'lines' challenge. however i think that you caputured the depth of the mic realyl well
I honestly think you would have scored higher if you had placed your focus on the guitar strings and not the end of the mic. I see the line (obviously) but as a subject focus it's not that interesting. On the plus side your ability to capture a correct DOF is great, and that's hard to do with a digital camera.
I understand the reason, but I disagree with the choice. The image of the background is too powerful to treat like this. The subject, in all it's sharply focused glory doesn't stand a chance. That's doubly true when it lives where several majof lines in the background cross.
