 Sigh, I am resigning myself to another score in the range of 4.
I suck at Still Life Photography, especially of something taken indoors. That, and I am not to great at Black and White either.
I didn't even want to submit anything, but am forcing myself to work on it for the learning experience.

I thought Music Notes and a Violin might make the Black and White conversion a little easier for me, since there is such a stark contrast between the black and the white.
Still Life Photography is really tough for me. I don't "get it". I don't understand what makes a good picture, besides lighting, which I am not good at anyway.
All feedback is appreciated

Well right now this is sitting at a 5.5. I am very pleased that I am not pulling a sub5 afterall. Maybe I am slowly improving afterall :-)

Looks like Beethoven. But it doesn't matter - love the subject and the picture!

I love how bright the strings are in contrast to the darkness of the violin body and the way the notes are so crisp on the sheets. Good job!
