Critiquing for
So cool you play the guitar! I totally play the piano and viola
So I'm lovin' that you did music photography.
It's really nice how you captured the music feel. It's not like what a bunch'a people do when their picture is taken, you know, when people "pose" or whatever. This shows action! There's more going on than just a cool pose, which is awesome. However.. My only critique is that there is too much blurring :/ I'm loosing the beauty of the action and the guitar's 'magic'. You can still blur some stuff, but maybe if the hand and a bit more of the guitar strings were in focus, I'd be even better!
Awesome job!

Cheers, thanks for the critique . As for the blur, yes I went a bit crazy with the aperture of the lens

I like the atmosphere that the black and white gives to this photo.
I think that more visual interest could be given to this photo if you had the hand in focus instead of the centre of the guitar - maybe say something about the guitarist rather than the guitar itself.

Thanks for your feedback. Interesting point on the guitarist rather than the guitar. I'll keep that in mind for the next one. Cheers

Very nice. Guitars look great in black and white. My only suggestions would be to either capture more or crop the top of the photo. Just showing the dip in the body of the guitar looks a little strange. The light reflections are also VERY white. I would suggest using better lighting or using the burn tool in PS. They just look very harsh against the the greys in the photo.

Thanks for your feedback, I should definitely improve the lightning (sometimes it's good to stay away from PS ).
I think overall the contrast could be way better.
Cheers !

Indeed, I guess a left handed guitar is a bit less regular, but you got a good point there
At least it is not a kitten.
Cheers.
