Barbara from Florida, United States
Outstanding portrait. Like a studio image. You worked the light perfectly. I like the defining light on the curve of the guitar.
I hope you feel better, of course we don't mind JJ doing another song. Be well.
P.S. enjoyed the story of Trudy making a fly by.

@Barbara: Thank you, Barb! You always notice the details and mention them--I really appreciate that. Oh, it would have been the perfect shot had I been able to capture Trudy in her fly by! :)

flyingwind风飞扬 from Taiyuan, China
Nice portrait! I individualy think it would be better if part of the guitar could be more!

@flyingwind风飞扬: Thanks for visiting, flyinwind. I understand what you are saying about showing more of the guitar in the frame. I thought about that, too but I took this in my basement with my 50 mm lens and was backed up to the wall with no more room. :) I could only fit so much in the frame. Thanks for your feedback!
@john4jack: Thank you so much, Jack! :)
Addey Kehinde from London, United Kingdom

Both yesterday and today are great portraits... but my favorite is today! Todays image conveys JJ's love of his guitar more than yesterdays! Very well done on both of them Claudia!

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Of course, the previous shot is very good, but I think this one is a little more revealing, more intimate.....
