I wanted to try a silhouette for this challenge, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Guitar was placed in front of a white wall. Shot at night, all lights in house off. Camera set to B&W mode, +2 contrast, "bulb" shutter. Held the flash behind the guitar and manually triggered it.
Very little post processing: Only very minor crop & save for the web.

The composition is great and I love the idea of the silhouette. The only issue I have with the silhouette is where the neck meets the body, the curvature picks up some of the light, which compromises the silhouette. Regardless I give it an 8
Like the idea and definately fits the challenge. Only thing I would like to see changed, is the lighting where the guitar body meets the neck? That is a wee bit distracting. Otherwise great job and good luck
