Good message, okay picture. The blacks seem very gray to me - almost washed out. A bump in contrast might really help this out. The pic is also fairly soft overall, which is fine in the background, and even on the hand/arm, but I think the bracelet could use a touch of sharpening or unsharp mask.

I preferred more DOF shot that was done by another.

very grainy and needs ajustment to contrast. Change aperture to gain DOF and a different colour backdrop to enhance to wood.

might have been better if the strings in the foreground were in focus and faded out of focus towards the tuning pegs

Nice idea and a good subject but the background is a little too blown for my liking

Great concept, although I would have wanted more depth of field to see the strings in focus.

nice effort to try a macro on this challenge - thee issue i see is the noise levels in the foreground, likely due to the shallow DOF - smoothing this out using noise reduction may have helped

Greetings from the Critique Club -

I didnt vote or even loko at any of the images during this challenge. My first reaction to this was a little laugh. Creative way to get Pi in the image. So you easily met the challenge tahts for sure.

That being said your shot is a bit flat. The table is not really a pleasing aspect to the image and the bottle kind of blends in with it which isnt good either. Overall it has a quickly setup snapshot feel to it. This doesnt usually go over to wel with DPC voters.

But looking now at your comments recieved I think you surely got your desired reaction. I know comments like "haha" and "lol" are not technically really helpful but they are at least some insight that those people enjoyed your image on a certain level. Enough to comment on it even with those few letters.

Thats about it from me. Keep on shooting and good luck inthe DPL!
Tim
