A mint condition Fender Stratocaster guitar. I took this shot with the guitar laying on my dining room table. The color of the walls gave it the nice yellowish color on top, and the natural light from the right was coming in through the sliding doors.
Nothing special on the edits. Just your usual cloning of small inperfections, curves, levels on selected areas, usm, neatimage.
The hardest part was focusing on the right part of the guitar to get the whole thing in focus. This took several tries. :)

this is so well done, very nice job. this is something i struggle with (controlled focusing) and you did an amazing job. VERY nice, adding to favorites
This picture is one of the best guitar shots I have seen. Even if one does not care about guitars it is great because the colors are subdued and the detail is followed on lock step from foreground to top nut. very impressive work. Congratulations and kudos. dan
Peggy, it was really tough to get the whole thing in focus. I used a 28mm (or less) teleconverter lens, and the highest Fstop possible. Then I moved back as far as possible and took about 20 or 30 shots, focusing on all different parts of the guitar until I saw a pic that looked focused on the entire length.
The great color on the guitar came from the walls of my living room area which is kind of a tan/yellowish color! And the light was natural (right side) from the sliding doors to the outside.
Beautiful! I can't believe this came out of a Fuji S602! (I have one too.) Must be the photographer's skill to get such a beautiful clean looking shot! Well done!
Congrats on a gorgeous shot (and your ribbon) - one of the most creative of the challenge, using deep DOF with something other than a landscape. Beautiful!
I think this one should place near the top, ideally top 10 or higher. Great job on the deep DOF, nice silky smooth image (300D/10D?), great color saturation. Wow...
OK, I just saw the stapler picture and you have done for guitars what that stapler guy did. I've seen some cool guitar pics and this is just really cool. It's like a monster or a beautiful car. I really really like this one. Don't ask me why, it's just gorgeous 10
Very well done. This is a difficult picture to take, I'm sure, and you've done it perfectly. I might have cropped it without the plugin, but i don't play the guitar, so i don't have any emotional context. Awesome shot for the challenge. 9
I want to say it is a Fender. But tremelo doesn't appear to be a Strat. Nice shot, BUT I have seen this concept a million times. BUT I feel you did a good job. Do you play? I gave you a 6.
My husband talks about these, if I remember right he used to own one (before I met him). Good work of showing deep DOF. I like the lovely shades of brown.
This is one of my top choices. You really got the concept here of deep depth of field. And the image is interesting and attractive too. Usually I don't like frames but yours works very well.
Wow, this shot is absolutely stunning - one of the best I've seen on this site. At 12:01am on June 14, this one goes into my favorites list. Great job!
You know it sucks getting voted down just because its a "guitar shot", but this looks great. Great lighting, composition and perspective. I gave you a 9...
