Violinist
3rd Place
AJ

This was incredibly hard to do!
Imagine me standing there with my violin propped
on my shoulder, then with the other hand had my
camera up to my face trying to take pics of it.

It was humorous, for sure.

My fingernails are a bit long to be playing.
I haven't played my violin or cello
in a couple years now -- maybe someday.

PS was toning and framing.

Great image Angela! Really well done and rendered.

Gotcha, thanks. Interesting.

Sorry, Craig, this was shot at ISO 1000 -- the grain comes from the high ISO. It's not an after effect in PS.

Beautiful, and a brilliant composition. Out of pure curiosity, I'd also like to see a more traditional B&W treatment, just to see the impact of the toning and noise; it's something I've never really tried.

Well done. Very nice use of DOF, composition, and post-processing. Nothing needs to be added, nothing needs to be taken away (well, except as you mention maybe the ends of your fingernails) :-) -Ed Hahn

Exquisite. Well composed, somewhat interactive. Looks like the other end could be tucked under my chin. Signature AJ grain and toning. Thanks for not making us wait [*sMiLe*]. --Joe

Cracking image. Excellent perspective and diagonals. AJ processing good as ever and suits it perfectly.
