    Fender guitar

    I had to re-size and compress this to get uploaded - mainly interested in feedback on the composition.

    Doesn't do much for me. Might make a good album cover or something. Your perspectives are spot-on, which is good.

    Might want to check the white balance. Looks like you were shooting indoors with incandescent light.

    Oh, and I didn't even notice the pick the first time I looked at it.

    I like the square crop and placement of the pick. The exposure looks good too.

    I like the composition but it seems soft to me. I think it needs to be sharper and probably more depth of field.
    I should be able to read the words under the Fender logo.

    To me it looks like it has a color cast. The wood inside looks to yellow. The small size I can't tell it it is in focus, but it looks like it is. For me the subject mater of Guitars doesn't interest me. (I'm currently covered with saw dust)

    Re: Fender guitar

    I like the composition. What I DON'T like is the tortoiseshell pick AND tortoiseshell pick guard. I wonder if another color pick might make it a bit more interesting, color wise? The composition looks good to me, but the color makes it "bland", at least for me.

    It seems very "yellow" which in person the guitar color is awesome, I would like something like this in B&W however. I like the idea though!

    Re: Fender guitar

    I'm thinking there isn't enough color and/or tone contrast in this one. Everything is some shade of brown-I bet a nice bright red or blue pick would add a ton to this image plus silver strings might help too.

    As it is everything seems to blend together and nothing stands out. B&W won't help a low contrast image either.
    No, I DON'T need that.
