 My playing my guitar.
First challenge since I went to Argentina.
I don't anticipate this will do too well.

Does it convey sound? I don't know.
I figured sound was something temporal. So it was important to give the feel/illusion of time passing with the shot.
I suppose I have a bias towards the guitar seeing as I have a hungry obsession with music and guitar. While you can't make it out, what I did with my left and right hands was a combination of simple strumming and some flamenco picking and rhythm beating stuff to emphasise the diversity of the sounds that you can get from the guitar.
Again, you can't really see this. Maybe some might be able to see it with the barely seen hands.
I dunno.

I quite like this shot, but really don't think it'll do well.

The image is topically very good, the post-processing adds to the composition of the setting, but those darn halos...

The grunge look works well here, but there is a lot of "haloing" around his head and some strange white areas on his cheek and over his lip.
