With such a beautiful instrument, I wanted to focus on main body of the cello for this one.

nice focus on the strings. there seems to be a slight blue hue to the white.

When I first looked at this, I didn't think I liked the soft focus but on reflection it really seems to work. good job.

Good focus and composition. There's a nice flow to this image. The reflections on the cello are not easy on the eye and they destroy this image. This would have been a beautiful image if the lights were better controlled. I suggest using diffusers and reflectors. It would soften the overall lights falling on the subject and will reduce the harsh highlights. Also the way it is now, it would be worth trying some desaturation on this shot. Try decreasing saturation on red, blue and magenta (maybe some yellow too).
Anyway, I am suggesting all this because I do see potential in this shot and I do think that you can achieve much better results from the same composition.
Good luck.

Good idea - it works pretty well except for the glares on the instrument. Softer lighting would most likely make it more pleasing. Excellent focus on the strings.

I love f holes. This is a very nice study yet I wish I could see the wood texture better. Nevertheless, a very strong image with nice warm colo.
