I have just started shooting LF and this is my first violin photo with my CC-400 4x5. The movements make it easier to get the "look" what ever that is. I am exploring the new possibilities.

You're off to a great start. I think the shadow at the bottom is a bit too heavy as it obscures what is obviously a beautiful instrument—a little more delicate touch with the lighting would accentuate its sensuous curves. I look forward to seeing more!
I like your photograph very much as it is. Rather than a clinical rendering of the entire instrument, your photograph depicts the violin's form emerging into the light.
Nicely seen!

I agree with Richard that the shadow at the bottom is too dark. And I think I would have preferred to see the other side of the violin.
The lines and texture are stunning. Do you have any more shots of the violin? I'd like to see where you go with it from there.

Are we truly creative, or simply too lethargic to become pedestrian?
I wish I was as good as you when I first started, keep up the good work and shoot a lot
Not bad Barry!
The back is interesting. No law says you must only show the strings side.Originally Posted by Louie Powell
This is a really good start! Good use of lighting and shadows. From what I observe, the shadow is unavoidable when using a single light source or no reflector. The only thing I would suggest is pull the light back a bit. The grain in the highlights is washed out a bit.
The violin looks as if it is floating, which I think is rather nice.
The violin is still under construction so there is no neck or strings on it yet. Mick was on the right track, it is emerging,
Thanks for the encouragement.
