She plucked at the strings her grandmother used to play, hoping to inspire from the audience of young children another to carry on this aspect of Korean culture.
Post Challenge: Woo, it's nice to be on the good side of 50%. This was taken at a Korean culture show at the Children's Museum in Chicago. I missed the name of the instrument, but it's about 5' long and has 12 strings.

Fantastic shot. Perfect DOF, great composition, very dynamic, and definitely tells a story. As Don already remarked, this wouldn't look out of place on a magazine page. 5.6? Shocking.
This is an excellent photo. The DOF and crop are perfect. One of these days I am going to start a thread for magazine-quality photos that score under 6.
p.s. I only scored it a 6 because it didn't seem very storyey to me.
Does a very good job of conveying culture and a traditional story that goes with it. I love the color and the partial focus on the instrument. The closeup makes me feel like I am right there watching this.
Very interesting instrument. I've never seen anything like it. You got just enough of the costume into the shot to convey an Asian feel. I like the diagonal composition.
