There is no desat, the compostion and background are a natural environment, and the border is perfect: it flows horizontally with the instruments and black cannot 'fight' black. What is does is provide contrast with the instruments and compliments the dark background.

Oh, and it's a Mandolin and a Violin. Not a 'guitar' and 'viola'. See, even at times, the best of us has no idea what they are talking about! (Myslef includerd)

I'm reviewing this challenge a second time after considering what the s-curve technique is really supposed to be. That is a compositional technique used to lead the viewer into the image. Though there ar obvious s-curves in these insturments I'm not totally sure if there is an eye leading s-curve here. Very nice shot however, and ultimately that's what matters. My apologies if you find me overly nitpicky on the definition of the topic.

A nice set of curved instruments. Lacks composition and a propper background.

border detracts from this one, especially with the 100% black fighting the black in image.

I just love the look of a hollow body guitar. The viola is interesting beside it.
