Greetings from the Critique Club
First of all, welcome to the madhouse that is DPC!!
In reading through the comments given below, I think the major issue with this picture has already been identified - lighting. The idea is very good, the composition is pretty good, too, with the neck of the guitar forming a nice diagonal. To get your point across, I think the shoe and foot need to be a bit more prominent in the picture. And overall, you need more, less flat light. For those of us who don't have studios, you can try shooting outdoors, preferably on a cloudy day, which provides nice even light, or use some indoor lights available in your house. I've used desk lamps and large pieces of white posterboard as "reflectors", opposite the desk lamps to provide reflected light and help reduce shadows.
In this picture, some stronger light coming from the lower right would add some texture and depth, I think. You'd still need some from the above left to highlight the shoe and face of the guitar.
If you have any questions about my critique, please don't hesitate to send me a PM. You've got a good eye and a creative approach - best of luck and keep shooting! |

| Really nice idea, shows the emotion well. Would like to see a little richer lighting - took me a minute to see the foot. |

| Good idea. I like where you went with this challenge. The setup was great. It suffers from bad lighting/exposure and cutting the foot off. Those fixed, it would score a point higher. |
