Not in love with it.

My preference would have been to have it square in the shot versus the slight angle that you have.

Along with the above, it would be better to have shot it one something other than the carpet on the floor against a wall. The door in the background where it meets the wall and the baseboard (floor moulding?) on one side but not the other whacks any semblance of balance plus the vertical lines of the door-to-frame-to-wall doesn't help.

The reflections in the guitar body of this floor moulding is another unnecessary distraction.

Try again with a different background and off the floor.

My opinion only.

Gart

I'm with Gart on this one.

Lots of potential here with all of the lines and angles, but like mentioned I think you really need to play directly into these precise and properly aligned geometries.

Lose the distracting background, get the guitar perfectly lined up and increase your DOF (to vibe better with the strings going down the neck leading you into that sexy Jackson.

Best of luck!

Jeff
