This one comes courtesy of the Critique Club :)

This is a very solid capture - even more so when compared to the original. Similar enough to provide the needed reference, but different enough (I like your reversal of the shapes, btw - I preferred the entries with twists rather than the completely identical ones) to provide a degree of interest. Not sure if this is the original or if it was tweaked, but it looks like you may have used some sharpening which gave some jagged edges - I may be wrong about the sharpening, but I do see some jagged eges either way.

Somehow I think that the strings do slightly distract from the original's emphasis on shapes, but that's not necessarily the point. Other than these small things, I don't know what else to say. Good effort and happy holidays :)

If imitation is flattery then I am flattered. You took the underlying metaphor and made half-real. You have done a fantastic job on the composition and the lighting.

very sweet composition. I'm wondering why the first fret is truncated just before the waist line intersects it?

wow good job, I never really cared to much for the original, but recapturing this the way you did is great.

great idea, but the body curve upfront should've mimicked the guitar, i.e. include a woman's waist and a thigh.

Doesn't have the impact of the original. Nice idea though.
