 A convergence of circumstance. I rarely bring my camera to work. But I had it this day. Same day, my boss received his George Harrison replica Rickenbacker 12 string guitar. He's been looking for the perfect one for years. I know of at least one other that he bought and returned because it just wasn't close enought to George's. I think there may have been another. He has very exacting standards. This one he says is 98% perfect and he's going to add it to his collection which now numbers 30 guitars.

Shot in RAW under the flourescent lights of the office using a flourescent white balance. The blue background is the crushed velvet in the guitar case.

adjusted contrast in RAW, resize, shadow/highlight, levels, contrast, noise ninja, sharpen, increase canvas, resize, save for web.

This is really like. I have a couple more in the series that I like, but artsy daughter likes this one best, and she's usually right. Hoping to crack 6.

Nice colors and oof effect created on the metal strings and guitar itself. Compositionally, needs some adjusting for overall balance, in my opinion.

Too bad DOF is so shallow at such an angle and closeness. Still a great shot, with wonderful clarity and colors.
