This picture was taken during a recording. It stood there and just caught my eye. the lighting set up was not of my own. It is but one spotlight. Also there was no tripod available so i had to push up the iso to get a good shot. This is one of 15 shots. Editing.... theres not much. Just a weak clarity filter by xero.
Thanx

Hi George, greetings from the Critique Club!

Regarding your photo:

Composition
The way the shadow appears on the wall behind it is very well done. The crop is effective, as it brings out the subject.

Lighting
Unfortunately, your shot came out too dark, because you can only see a part of the guitar head. A person not personally and emotionally attached to Fender needs to have some other visual stimuli, and it isn't given. Probably with a higher ISO some grain could be used to your advantage, and the image would be brighter.

Processing
I do believe it's a bit more saturated than necessary. In my screen it appears a bit too red and too strong.
Still, the detail is good and the shadows are well controlled.
You could also make use of the full 800px image size, it would enhance the whole picture.

I saw that this is your first entry, so don't be discouraged, use it as a learning experience to try and do better next time.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

I love a Strat. Guitar pix will always get my attention. This one may be a little bit too dark, though. I would have liked to see more detail.

good one--I am not sure about the shadow to the left--I can't decide if it is a distraction as my eye is drawn to it
