This is my violin. It was my life in high school and it was what led me to meet my now husband when I got to college. I was concert master and he was principal viola. Music is a big part of our family. Niether of us play as much as we used to but we hope to be able to pass our love of music on to our children. It's something that is important to us and something we want to make a tradition as each of our children gets older.
As a picture, I turned off all of the lights in the room so that my not so pretty black blanket would disappear in the background. I'm not a pro by any means- lights on, lights off- that is my technique so far. Thanks to you guys though, I hope to keep getting better.

That is a beautiful photo! I love the perspective and the lighting.
I love your story of how you met your husband, so romantic! And this picture is really beautiful... very classy, it could easily be in the Smithsonian magazine!
That's a wonderful tradition. Music is a big part of my life as well. That is a wonderful picture, such a beautiful violin.
Good thinking! I didn't even think of my violin, but it's definitely tradition in my family. Your violin is beautiful, and I love it in the picture! The only thing I would change is to position the bow differently, or take it out altogether. I think it detracts a little from the violin.
Very neat picture! I really like how much you chose to show. I agree with Mindy about a different placement of the bow.
Nice shot! The coloring is beautiful! Lookd like you could reach out and touch it. I'd love to see it against a black backdrop to bring out an even more classical look.
Very nice! I love how you did your lighting!
I agree about the bow- I actually tried a few different placements- some looked better but the lighting wasn't right so this one won the contest, I still wanted the bow in the picture because it just felt empty without it- but I do agree it could be improved on. The white of the bow hair was too glaring, distracting. Thanks for the imput!
Beautiful photo. I love the angle.
