Nice shot with some good potential. It's all in the rendering ... - I like the warmth but find it's a bit too warm, it taints the highlights and color of the fleshtones a bit too much for my eye. Converting to B&W, nipping up the contrast a little bit while preserving the lower edge separation between hand and guitar, and then bringing some of the color saturation back in to warm it up might produce a more pleasing warm tonal rendition. - Another thing is that I find the 2:3 oblong composition with the neck of the guitar making a strong diagonal to a corner is a little distracting, and the defocus as my eye follows the strings to the corner adds to that distraction. A very nearly square crop focusing on the hand, the ring, and the central part of the guitar body would make a much stronger composition. Hope that give you strength ... ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
