hey Randy: this was too much a visual for the general DPC voter, but you keep it up and you will bring them around. This was one of the most exciting entries in this challenge. Good work.

I'm assuming the notes weren't Photoshopped in (of course), so I'm giving this a couple extra points for creativity. The two notes together (in the middle) is kind of distracting and should be separated but otherwise, very nice picture overall!

Nlce concept, I feel you should soften the outside edge of the notes, they would blend in better with the background...

I would have liked this better with just the guitar and no notes. Nice lighting on quitar

Actually I think the notes are completely destroying a very well lit guitar. You probably got them in there somehow legaly but it seems like they're cut out in Photoshop or so. Without the notes a 6, now it's a 4, sorry.

really well put together the guitar is well positioned and lit. the notes are well placed and sized maye the big one should go, the conception of the image is good I would rate this at 6

IMO the picture of the guitar itself would have been great, the white notes don´t really add anything and just become distracting but great lighting of the guitar, I probably would have given it a 10 if the white notes hadn´t been there. (8)
