Excellent. I like how you've frozen the fingers in what look like only two positions, rather than just a smooth blur. Selective desaturation works well here, too. I might have removed the capo for simplicity's sake (no one can hear the music in the photo). But, this is one of my favorite images this challenge.
OK. I think this would be better without the selective desat. The motion blur already does good things with the hands so the desat is not need to draw attention to them.
I would have rated this a lot higher if the body of the camera could have some how been still/in focus. Though, I guess it's pretty hard to hold a guitar still while playing it.
