My husband's hands playing guitar. I suppose I could put it with the picture of my husband's hands playing Piano (see sound challenge). :0)
I draped him with a black cloth so that his clothes weren't distracting. I had one with smaller dof, but it was focused just behind his hand on the fret, adn upon first glance looked like nothing was in focus.
Post processing -- Desaturated red a bit, adjusted brightness/contrast a touch, cloned out a piece of dry skin on my husband's hand, resized, NEATIMAGE a touch, submitted.
I thought about cloning out the light glares on teh guitar, but decided to take a chance, because i actually like it better with them in there.

Nicely fits the challenge. Efficiently composed. The shallow DOF main subject (hand on strings) blends well with the out-of-focus background (it is surprising how many others don't) Very nice image.
