I really like the Close and personal approach just showing the hand gripping the strings of the guitar. I also like that the rest of the photo is blurred and the selective coloring.

The Focus is spot on and Sharp showing such Clear and well defined details and the exposure is Perfect.

The tight cropping Works well and the hand has got a fine placement within the frame. A truly great looking and well taken photo Willie and With an excellent DOF. I wish you Luck With the contest.

You are most welcome Willie.

And impressive close up capture!
The viewer seem to hear the sound of his guitar string strummed under a dramatic illumination....
Weird color presentation where the left frame seem to register a sepia effect while it's full color on the right ...
A very shallow depth of field showing fine details of the left hand fingers...leaving a hazy overtone around it!

Thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest!

I think you have come up with a great image for the contest, the beauty of sound.
A great vantage point. Nice detail and lighting.
Focused and interesting. Nicely presented.
