Have a feeling this one is going to not do so well, since this doesn't involve your typical still life material, but I like it any way. The only thing I think I wish I could change was to have 6 strings on each guitar.

Shot with two candles on the ground for the sole light sources. Converted from raw, USM, hue saturation, curves, selective color, Channel Mixer and Levels. Quick through NI then resized saved for the web.

This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. The composition isn't doing much for me though. 5

I love the shadows, but the overall shot is stiff somehow. I dunno, maybe shooting from a bit lower angle, distorting the guitars a bit the way the shadows do? I'm not sure just what it is, something's just not spot-on, to my eye. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
