    I like the idea, but I am not the case is the right setting for it. When I first looked at the shot, I saw a red fuzzy guitar, not one fading away; I think a more distinct background would make the effect clearer. Also, setting the shot in this pristine environment makes me think more of a new guitar show room than a guitar with lots of memories.

    Thanks Ken! thumb.gif

    I guess I didn't deliver the message headscratch.gif (I was partially going for "open casket", hence the distinct red/black colors).
    Oh well...ne_nau.gif

    Hmmm. Perhaps some white flowers to create more of a funeral setting? I think if you shooting for the funeral of a guitar, you can't go halfway...

    oooo, a guitar is a great idea - nice and curvy! however, i think a different angle would accentuate that curviness better.

    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    Nice lighting. Excellent choice for curvy, but the guitar is just too head on for the photograph to grab me. I think you are on to something here and can't wait to see how it develops!

    P.S. You've done a couple of lovely shots of the human form in previous challenges. How about for this challenge????

    Nik, Whenever I read those words coming you I worry and then start to cry:cry If these attempts are your "try outs" then the rest of us are in troublemwink.gif

    I agree with what the others are saying in terms of adding different elements to it and maybe looking at different angles. I'd thought about suggesting having a Barbie doll sitting inside the case covered in noodles, but I see that idea is already taken (though I think GI Joe is still available)rolleyes1.gif

    The lightening is great, although there is a slight shadow on the bottom left hand side of the guitar body, which I think is coming from the case cover, which is slightly distracting.

    Look forward to seeing the final shot, once the main character finishes their homework.

    Cheers/peter

    Yeah, I guess I was just going in all directions at once and none in particular. Need to concentrate! :bash
