I am attempting a photo a day project this year. It is going OK so far, but their have been a few days where it is a last minute rush to get it done due to every day life basically and the challenges it throws at us!

Anyway, I had a run of doing some images of musical instruments which I have included here. Thanks for looking :D

I like the first and third images! The mono treatment works well!

I have been doing a 365 as well....sadly I have been putting up very plain, shot for a shot's sake images....I feel like I am going to run out of inspiration very quickly. Hope you keep it up!

I like the 2nd one, it tells more of a story.
I'm not sure about the colour in the 1st one. It reminds me of a bad mono print from a shoddy bulk outlet store. To be more specific, I think the problem is that my mind does not relate green to the subject.

Hey Geoff,

I agree with Gadgit re: green tint. Doesn't resonante ( :lol: ) with the guitar... Perhaps sepia or BW?

#2 is quite nice with the bold contrast. Try a square crop for this?

#3 beautiful tones on this one. :cheers:

Like the texture and detail in no.2. Good luck with the project!

I think my favourite is the third.

I don't know what the parameters for the
project are, but I agree with the above
and I feel you can improve #1 by selecting
another two tone combinations; while I
think the 3rd one could do with more contrast
and the 2nd one with less sharpening.
