I really like this but it totally feels upside down to me. Scoring it an 8 but would be 9 if it were other way up - yes I appreciate that an editor would see past that and simply rotate it but I think it was a poor choice to present it upside down in this challenge.

Interesting blue cast. I like the DoF on this shot.

seems a bit grainy, but great composition.

I really like the depth of field here. The tones you\'ve used and the composition really make me want to read this magazine! I think the grain is very appropriate herre, adding a more natural, journalistic feel to the image.

I could see this on a cover. Subtle composition with nice colouring and I like the grain..adds a lot of character.

I really like the color cast and the DOF is very good, but I find that the name of the guitar is very distracting being upside down.

I was photographing this guitar the other day, and never thought of this angle! I like the blue. Good lighting. The graininess suits this picture, but not sure if a grainy picture would be on a magazine cover. Nonetheless, 10.

Seems upside down to me. Otherwise very nice.

Hmmm. Chosen angle is dynamic and interesting to look at. My eye shuns that bridge (?) piece on the last two strings. I think a more appropriate hue of color could have been chosen, more of a traditinal, darker sepia probably. We start to see some noise towards the bottom where the focus drops out. Diddnt really mark down for this, but right before the fretboard starts its especially noticable.

Beautiful - but it disturbs me that it's "upside dwn". 9

Nice shot - the angle is lovely, the focus is very precise, and the blue shadows are a wonderful effect.

A little grainy.

This is a good picture, however, it would be an excellent picture if it weren't for the text being upside down.

Maybe a bit much on the blur here, even given a focus on the tuning. Topically it seems apt. The toning seems a little strange. I think being able to read the logo more clearly might be nice; at that angle I have to twist my head. But it would depend partly on the focus of the cover story.

traditional shot done well - nice use of shallow dof

I don't really care for the border on this one, but the colors are great and I love the grainy feel. 9.
