Description: I took this picture when I saw one of my friends playing a song on his guitar. I thought it would be interesting to take the shot up close to the head of the guitar and focus the image more on the guitar rather than the person playing it. I used Fireworks to enhance this image. I used some of the blur tools to slightly distort the background. I also fixed the lighting somewhat. I took this picture because I felt happy when I heard him playing and i wanted to capture that. I learned how to change up the background and still keep the front images the same.

You did a good job creating perspective in your post editing program. Try to get as much of the background blur as possible in the initial picture. The shine on the guitar and the angle of the shot add very interesting lines to your photograph. I am not sure "happy" would be the emotion I would use to describe this photograph, maybe "concentration." The shadow around the left hand side and top of your picture is a little distracting. Great job. Very creative work!

Interesting view. Pictures can also make music.
