Sigma 28-80 lens set at 80 on macro. My guitar and the pitch pipe my Father gave me to tune it up with. I dodged the shadows in the lettering on the pipe to read it a little better.

Careful metering and bounce falsh would've improved this photo.

Nice represenation musical eduation. Nice composition but a bit overexposed on the white.

All of the white in this image is washed out....a lot of the detail is lost, which is a shame.

Whites are very blown out and the picture is a bit unfocused

There is a little too much white at the top of the photo IMHO. I think it's a little distracting.

Is this an electric guitar? Doesn't make me think of school days. Possibly you were going for farage band nostalgia, but this doesn't reach me on a nostalgic level. Technically, the blown out highlights distract me. 4, just-married

School? Education? I don't see a connection to the challenge here. A guitar lesson? This seems a bit like shoehorning to me.
In terms of the quality of the photo---it appears quite a bit overexposed. There is very little shadow and highlight detail. There isn't really much of an interesting focal point accept for the orange finish of the guitar. Sorry, this one just doesn't work for me at all. Keep trying!

Time for Music! This one time at band camp........:)
I like how this is different with a part of the guitar in view and everything else behind tuner has its own DO. You did a great job specially making this in good focus as if the computer screen was really a window and I could touch the guitar. :)

i think the ideia is good but i guess the colors blend too much and some parts seem a little out of focus!
