Competition entry: Sarah's Guitar
Sarah's Guitar by Rachel Teske
2017 March Competition - B Open
36 points - 1st Place
Judges' comments:
Nice close up; good diagonal placement; good color and exposure; eye drawn to the strings
Maker's notes:

The shadow from tripod leg was affecting this picture. I had afternoon light from the side but overhead light from a skylight. I held a large poster board over the tripod to block the overhead light and reduce the tripod shadow and some reflections on the guitar finish. A harsher shadow was removed anyway when the photo was cropped.
