This is the guitar of the son of my love and i always found interesting that the curve of a guitar has a nice silhouette. I have tried to represent that particular silhouette in my composition

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing image that partially meets the challenge.

This is more a close up than a macro but it is certainly inanimate. You've made a lovely job of this Marcel, the black backgrounds work well to isolate the detail of the guitar. That same detail is unfortunately part of the problem in that the worn areas of the instrument are quite prominent, I think for this sort of image to work at its best it needs to be a new or an absolutely pristine guitar.

I like your composition with the three strings on the right leaving sufficient room for a balanced background on the left. Given you comments there is also the possibility for a vertical composition just up to the outer edge of the sound hole embellishments, in that way the top curve could be included and our attention would be concentrated purely on the classic curved shapes ithemselves against the black. I think the simplicity of such a composition would have had more impact.

Nicely done, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid
