Guitar photo

[dan]

I dedicated about 3 hours and 60 exposures one afternoon to shooting some interesting angles on my sister's guitar. Here is one that I liked. Exposure is 15" f20, Av, ISO 100, custom WB. Handheld Vivitar 283 w/ a pocket bouncer was fired directly overhead, about 4ft above subject. I had a hard time with glare coming off of the lacquer finish on the guitar neck, a polarizer managed to cut it down dramatically though. I think the shot definitely gains more impact when converted to grayscale, but I can't decide. Does the color add or detract? My thinking was that b&w emphasized the lines and composition. I'd love to hear any comments. Thanks in advance.
