love the quality of this shot. great colours/tones.

kadenajack said 580 days ago:

For curves wouldn't it have been better to show the lines of the guitar body? I see some here, but the strongest curves certainly are outside this shot.

George said 579 days ago:

Geeeeeetarr Heaven! Lovely tones. I like the composition. Not particularly strong for the theme as I see it, but a feature worthy image I believe.

VernonTrent said 579 days ago:

it is a fender stratocaster, model stevie ray vaughan. nice instrument.

cferroni said 579 days ago:

I have mixed feelings about this one, I really like the idea and the toning. Not sure about the composition, which sems a bit random, and the blown out highlights on the rightmost pick-up keeps distracting me or some reason.

cferroni said 579 days ago:

Ah, the multi-talented Mr. Trent! Fab job at toning this Vernon, and I am SERIOUSLY jealous of the guitar!...;-)

VernonTrent said 579 days ago:

hey carlo, nice to meet you here :)
the right pick-ups are very bright but not "blown"... you can still recognize the metal surface.

however, I love guitars and specialy this one has a special story behind. thought I share this feeling with you.

this one is an abstract way to show how SRV died.
take a look at the composition and at the light. how the light fades out over his name.

Vernon,
I'm glad there's at least one straight line in this shot...I was about to call my optometrist.
Congratulations on your featured image.

Greqt Fender, great photo.

pursang said 578 days ago:

What a great piano! ;-) Congratulations my friend!

bslomovic said 578 days ago:

Sorry to say that I agree with KadenaJack. And as a gutiar player and Strat owner I think there are much finer curves to this instrument. Its a nice quality image but it really doesnt do justice to the guitar and the classic shape that defines a Strat.

philippe said 578 days ago:

Nothing like a Gibson. ;O)
Just kidding: I love SRV and Jimi Hendrix.

VernonTrent said 577 days ago:

thanks everybody :-)
I don't want to discuss about the guitar. it wasn't the guitar what I wanted to bring in the foreground.
I used hard light to create reflections on the edges and light curves.
some analphabets would recognize the initials as fine curves as well :-)

merry christmas to you all.
*cheers*

philippe said 576 days ago:

Good, because I really don't care discussing about the guitar either...
Merci pour les analphabètes. :)

Joyeuses fêtes!
