**(an non-offical critique)**
hey just ran into this by way of tracing comments....and...
if that is a vintage jag its pretty kick-ass (rufuring to the guitar of corse)....
anyhow i like the idea of the shot but just have some help as to the exicution...
its basic edit, so dogging is out and you need to bighten up the image, don't use the pop up flash on your reb. as you did....instead in future grab up a fuji film can (the opaque white ones for color film) and make yourself a little omni bounce, its simple and will even out your light for all of 4 or 5 bucks. (just make a slit in the side using an exacto or scisors and slip it over the top of you flashwhen it is poped up.
also, he was really playing, that is cool and all but it always looks wrong, if you've ever taken a pic of a person while they are talking you'll know what i mean it looks funny, well inorder to really grabe you viewer tell him to make up a chord or hand position that he would never play but looks like it is real, when all else fails you basic power chord hand position works well.
lastly framing, like i said i like the focus to the hand that is what you want you viewer to see, but if you were to include the head stock (the full fender roll at the top) or if you and have him move his hand up to the lens distorted spot on the neck frist or second frett angloe the guitar pointing it a little more drasticly toward the camera and really draw attention to the hand (my eye goes to that 1st frett right off not his hand and thats all i'm trying to help you solve)....then you would have a wapper on an image.
and your viewer would really be able to get lost in every point of it.
very cool tho and always gotta love a nice guitar. (espicaly a fender)
