    That’s cool Les. I can easily see a guitar brand name put on this and displayed in a music shop window. Of course it would be HUGE!

  • Leslie Battjes replied

    That would rock! Wanna be my agent?? :D

  • NewDawnPhoto

    Nope…not in a window. A big banner hanging from the ceiling of the store.

  • Leslie Battjes replied

    Now this was a Film about a wee boy & his guitar I remember it well. He kept his guitar in a stable & it raced horses or something like that Leslie. Might have been a young Roddy McDowel.
    His guitar wasn’t as pretty as yours though!! xx

    Excellent shot! I particularly like the contrast between the blue velvet and the wonderful deep black of the instrument and the white lines that adorn it! Not familiar with the method of adding a “diffused glow” but it certainly does have one!

  • Leslie Battjes replied

    Thanks, Joanne :) The diffuse glow is just a bit of PS magic. I rarely use it, but when added subtly in the right image, it can really add to it. Thanks for asking about it.
