 My lovely wife again!
My original idea was to capture a specific chord shape like G13, so I used Kate as a hand model. However, I liked this much better.

I too nearly did a guitar shot. This is much better than mine would have been. Lighting is excellent. Soft focus works well. Well Done

I like the capture of the guitar here and the ltght and tones. However, as a study of shape, the face/head distract rather than add.

Good lighting and colour but she looks a bit plastic. Maybe over cooked in neat image.

Nice glow, and warmth. Her eyes make me look right at the cutout ( circle ) of the guitar.

The soft focus is a good choice here as curves are generally soft. I kind of wish the curves were more clearly communicated. I like the image overall. Nice lighting and the face and guitar work well together.

A great shot to be sure. Lovely tones and composition is strong. Perhaps would be a strong contender in the Soft Focus challenge, but doesn't shout Shapes when I look at it.

Soft focus works well here.

Title des not fit the photo.You don't really focus on the curves of the guitar or the woman.

Nice soft photo, the light and shadow are nice as well. However, I can't see any shape is the main here... My first look was the girl in this picture. Anyway, Well done!
