This really is an awesoem photo and just showcases the amount of talent you have. I bet this would look stunning printed on canvas and hanging in a gallery!

Painted Flowers

nice close shot and lovely colour, but for me the bright reflection/light in the bottom right hand section just takes over from the impact of the flowers.

Having played guitar a little bit, I appreciate the close perspective, not too far off from what the musician sees when critically examining finger positions.

Two things might make this a stronger image. First, drape something very dark across the background to eliminate the bright areas (which my eyes find distracting). Second, if you can jocky a tripod into that position (or set up a temporary stable shelf to do the same thing), try a narrower aperture and a slower shutter speed to get more depth of field (longer strtch of string sharp would be nice, maybe inlcuding the white string spacer). Fuzzing out at both ends is nice, but I'd like to see more sharp along the way.

Wow, I love this! Great capture. I might've cropped just a tiny piece off the top so that the cat fills the entire frame and more focus is on his face.

Hey! I used to go fishing there back in the early 90's. :D Never bothered to look at what part of the country you're in. I liked Old Hickory Lake better for fishing but Percy Priest was close and convenient.

Congrats on breaking a 6 on this. :)
