Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Like the strong red colour and the way you cropped the image. Text would be great on the right side. The digital glow effect is too much.
Content/Composition
I do see the artistical concept of this submission, but somehow this concept does not get through to me very well. While a guitar and the title fit very well together and also fit to the challenge topic, I don't really get why the message gets better to the viewer when the guitar is glowing and is loosing due to that almost all details. For electric guitar this might have worked better, but for an acoustic everything looks too hot and "loud".
Beside of that I do like the composition and crop: it follows the roll of third and works mainly with shape and lines (very appropriate for a guitar).
Not adding the text into the image itself was however not a so good choice: text in a well chosen (probably red) colour with some shadow and maybe curved along the guitar would have increased the overall look considerably.
Camera work -technically
Can't tell much about it, seems to be well focused. Exposure seems fine too but because of the post processing hard to judge.
Digital Processing - Technical
See my comments made above.
Fits the challenge
Yes, it does.
Personal remark
I looked through your portfolio and other submissions and one thing is striking: you are extremely versatile and you are trying to work out new perspectives and techniques. This shows in many of your very good pictures: they are all very different and creative. Like this a lot.
And in this context this image gets a new perspective to me in the sense that you tried to see what's possible for you and the voters. I appreciate this very much.
Good luck for your further submissions

| Nice shot. Where is the poster look? Are you not into the photo editing portion of it? |

| A nice thought and a well composed photo. But the lighting creates an odd effect of broken-up strings and frets, and I'm also a bit thrown off by the rim lighting, which seems overdone. |

| Nice composition; great color; nice use of edging to separate the instrument from the border. |

| A nice photo, but I wish the strings were visible the whole way. Too bad you didn't get the words onto the photo, like a poster would have them. |

| The edited glow looks o.k. but has damaged part of the image. The right hand side of the top, the left part of the round area for example. |

| The manipulation here borders on too much. Especially the white glow around the quitar. It's almost too simple. You definitely need the text in this image. |
