A B major barre chord done in blue. Is that "B" enough? :) If you're musical you'll get it. If you're not you'll probably just scratch your heads or maybe not. I hope people read titles. The litmus test for this one was my 6 year old son's comment, "Whoa."

I've always hated playing that chord :( I really like this shot, even without the connection to the challenge. Composition and lighting are both good...bringing your eye to the hand playing the chord. The blue tones gives it a feel of being at a concert. I also like the dof and the clarity the contrast gives the shot. IMO, you made all the right decisions on this one!

Super idea, composition, everything. I like the softish focus, too. 9

Brainy. Apart from the specific chord (which would appeal only to other guitar players) the picture does not have very much general appeal.

2nd one with the music idea, but each different. I like the close up and the details and I assume the fingerine is "B". thanks

I like the blue tones on this photo. Makes it a little more interesting. Good photo

Simple yet effective. The blue lighting makes me think of a nightclub.

Not sure if the colour really enhances this photo. I know it fits in with the B challenge, but it has some odd effects, like the two white dots on the finger and the oddly coloured finger nail. Also, because the title suggests to look at the chord being played, when you do the fingers appear slightly fuzzy (out of focus?).
I do like the abstract idea though of meeting this challenge - well done (beats all those banana pictures :)

B Major... I am kicking myself, that is such a great idea!
Bit too much contrast here for my taste, to many shades that are either very bright or very dark. I would have liked it a bit sharper as well... perhaps taken in strong light, and then a blue filter applied in Photoshop. Interesting light for the hand, but leaves an unappealing shadow on the fretboard. Almost a nice piece of stock photography! 8

these blue music ones are nice, but the borders aren't needed
