Nice comp and color...the shallod DOF draws the eye. Nice balance in with the window light. There is also balance between the tension in the strings and the serenity of the rest of the scene. Very nice!

This is a very interesting, serene, and extremely competently exposed image Husain. I absolutely love it, and the atmosphere it projects...

This would look great on a wall (large) with a rough-textured wooden frame. The top-right may be a little "too" black for my taste - a bit of detail could have balanced things out (since there is detail in the background on the left). That instrument is indeed a work of art.

Looks like the bridge(s) of a string instrument that is played in a horizontal position. It's a lovely instrument. Nicely composed, and it would be interesting to see this image with just a wee bit more light to see the vanishing perspective details of the strings and bridges.

Let's have more. Your picture shows how you can use the instrument in your composition. I'd like to see different views.

i really wanted to take more pictures of that instrument...but the girl who was there was about to pack her stuff and leave....i didn't really want to bother her.

Unfortunate huh!....i could've taken more pics.
