Hey, I like this a lot. I might try brightening up the strings a bit, but the shadow on the body is terrific. More important, paint over the one bright pixel above the left side of the body. It might be a hot pixel (a broken pixel in your camera). You might also want to get rid of the bright spots on the right side of the body. Those are really there, but with the body so dark, they're kind of hanging in space.

Good job!

I like the overall idea. A few nitpicks:
- The crop is very tight at the top.
- The shot's pretty noisy (all the little dots and apparent texture in what I assume is really a smooth red surface)
- There's a little point sticking out of the top guitar on its lower left corner
- The curved shadow under the left side of the top guitar is showing editing signs - it's not a smooth curve and it blurs and gets sharp at random. To clean that up, try zooming way in and using a very small brush that's not very hard. If you're having trouble seeing the shadow's edge to trim it, create a brightness layer and make it bright enough to see. Just turn that layer off for your final image. I use that trick often when working on dark areas of images.
- There's a little speck of darkness below left side of the bottom of the bottom guitar.
- There's a dark speck in the upper left corner

Each of those is small, but they add up. Keep at it! I'm regularly amazed at what I've missed after editing something for a long time.

Great concept - tighre crop or a different angle on the mirror may have helped. The color is nice, very warm, but the focus needs to be sharper.

i like how the model is looking into the mirror to look at us. it is a feel good kind of a situation, but it's so out of focus...

The different colors against the black background make a very interesting photograph.
