Simple Can Be Better
Christine McCarty - Hand With Guitar
There’s no missing the focal point in this image. The focus is is on the hand, not the guitar but the two go together to tell the gentle story. Christine chose to place the subject in soft, filtered natural light placed against a dark background to prevent any extraneous objects from distracting the eye. A narrow depth of field provided sharp focus on the hand with a gradual softening as the neck with the head and tuning keys points to the upper right. The final touch is to render the scene in black and white adding to the classical look. Overall, a very pleasing image.

It is so rich – beautiful.
Thank you
Yes, You’re right , Simple can be better and beautiful. I like the story in black & white color.
Nice use of the natural light to highlight the essence of the image. The dark background and focus on the hand and fingers keeps the eye from straying. Is that forefinger beckoning the viewer to “stay focused”? Great image!!
