Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Fits the challenge very well, composition too straight and too small.
Content/Composition
You did choose a great subject: the accordion is a very nicely looking instrument and wanting to learn it is of course a good "New Year's Resolution". Also showing some music books is a good idea (from those I would have taken only the three top once: they have a simple, clean structure).
The image comes short in the angle of view to the accordion. The instruments has so many interesting shapes (the keyboard, the buttons etc.) and so interesting textures (the opalescent surface with its colourful reflections) that a close-up, maybe along the keyboard with a well set light and the books making a colourful background, would have done way better.
Camera work -technically
Exposure seems right on the accordion, the books however are somewhat underexposed. It looks to me as if flash has been used, something that has to be avoided under almost all circumstances. Focus is fine, however, that's hard to judge due to the small size of the image.
Digital Processing - Technical
Beside the small size of the image, some more sharpening might have been helpful to overcome the exposure issue: sharpening usually brighten up an image without loosing details in the bright regions.
Fits the challenge
Yes, fits very well: it's a real resolution and you can probably achieve it in contrast to some non-smocking resolutions:)
Good luck for your further submissions

| This isn't a bad photo, but next time go ahead and use the full 150K allowed. The size can also be up to 640px on the longest side, making it easier to see. |

| Nice shot, but I'd rather see the accordian sitting in a dusty room, waiting to be played. This just isn't compelling to me. |

| Hard to learn well. Good luck. Nice composition. Maybe should make picture a bit larger, take advantage of the whole 640 pixel width. |
