What a beautiful image. I have a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens that will create razor thin strips of depth of field. I think you have used the limited DOF concept here perfectly. It doesn't work more often than it does, and this is one application where I love it! 10 from me!

Nice dof, tones, focus. 7

love how you have the focus on the hand and fade quickly from there

Tones are wonderful here! A great way to display the guitar and guitarist. The hand on the fretboard could possibly be taken out, IMO.

I wish the DOF was not quite as shallow.. Love the wood grain texture, and I wish the strings were more in focus.

Excellent DOF and perspective, one of the better guitar photos I've ever seen. The soft light is so nice.

Photography at it's best... I can tell there's been little to no PP imposed upon this shot (and it doesn't need it). The lighting is good, the focus/DOF is perfect, and the composition is excellent. This is certainly a winner for the purists (and scoring quite well with me too).

I love these type of pictures. I love the blur you added to the neck. Fantastic job. 9/10

Great use of shallow DOF. Great sharpness where it is needed. I like the subtle bit of texture we can see in the wood of the guitar.
