This one got a bit of an old wear off look, that I always find very attractive. Any comments would be very welcome.

Excelente también, yo recortaría la guitarra del fondo y la pondría sobre sobre un nuevo fondo más surrealista, o tal vez, solo sobre un fondo blanco...una idea, nada más.
Un abrazo!

Yes, that was also Andre's idea, more or less, and I am very happy to see that there is a convergence regarding the background. I'll have first to select the background reasonably and allow the transitions to the shadows and the guitar be a bit feathered in order to achieve a result that looks real. I don't like surrealistic approaches when it comes to such things - they often are only the result of the inability to work exact. For the surrealistic elements I have my camera. PS is mainly for a good sense of composing images that wouldn't exist otherwise. And that's the hard part of it which many people here still avoid to do. It's much too much work, you see! ;-)
Cheers,
Nick

So this is PS work!?
ok, i checked all the designs you have created here and this one calls me, to let you know that i like it the best.
i see you wrote on the reply to Gustavo that you would like to work more in getting the result you want.
I also have to mention that many time i find you like a dadaist. and here, i would want you to act as one ;). the reason is the design you brought here, which i find really very vibrant and full of energy. and there's nothing, absolutely nothing that i would mind changing or modifying here- like this it shows a ravishing soul of the player- crazy and full of energy- just like rock and roll itself!
so it is an excellent look of the guitar, and the work on it itself is no less than great!
cheers,
v.

Oh yes, Visar, it can be called "PS work" if we simply oversse all the problems and mistakes. I am not very good in that, but I try.
I don't know if I am a pure dadaist, but many times and in many cases I really feel very well connected with this stream. It might also be that my very strong adiction to rock'n'roll plays a role for that. You know, I don't feel that rock'n'roll owns any kind of explanations about its being. It is, and that's all. This has a duality of consequences. One of them is as you say the dadaistic approach to many things. The other is - especially in photography or in music - the avoidance of any kind of "too much decoration" and the like. I mean, I could also sit there and post some kind of "ooohh, so splashy image", but that wouldn't be a guitar anymore. And you know, the problem with "air guitars" is that they don't produce any sound by themselves - believe me, I did that for years in front of my stereo! ;-) It's hard to explain what I mean, so I do attach such a "flashy" image to make perhaos visible what I mean. The attachment is shining and conveys perhaps some kind of superstar atmoshere, but the original is down to earth (or to floor! ;-)) and it is touchable, dusty, real - much like the sound that comes out of the speakers after the signal has been overdriven by real tubes. ;-)
Cheers,
Nick

Oh yes, if that could be made possible in some way! I would buy some cheap guitars and simply change their face but also their parts like pickups and the like. But I don't know how to do that.
As about the image itself, I would wish a more "real" appearance. It's not perfectly what I wanted and so I am only grateful for any advices from the PS front.
Cheers and thanks again, Gimena.
