A tribute to my old acoustic guitar, worn and battered, but still a good friend that makes lovely music! I created this today especially for the guitar contest, then played around with it for so long...I missed the entry deadline...guffaw! Oh well, I had a great time working with this image!

I LOVE this Rory! You must have made it in the guitar contest because that's how I found it. I voted, promoted and faved this! Nicely done!

Joyce, I so appreciate the time you have taken to explore some of my work and your truly lovely comments! Your light and sincerity shine bright! For the last four years or so I mainly play the piano...so very rusty on my beautiful old guitar I am afraid!

Wow...thank you so much. I feel very honored! Did not see this until just now, so will have to take a peek at the thread after work tomorrow!

This is remarkably good, Rory! I've seen several other photos of guitars on the site, some from "the business end," but the combination of angle and the wonderful patina make this unique and dynamic! It brings to mind how wooden instruments, wooden furniture and time-weathered faces are both more interesting and lovely when their lines and scratches were made through love. vfp
