A little play on words in the title with this Suhr guitar. The body is so beautiful and the colors remind me of the ocean, so that is the inspiration behind the photo! :0)
Manual exposure 1/25 sec 5.6 ISO 800
In PS I used auto levels, made the bg soft black and added Gaussian blur~applied Flood filter thru Flaming Pear.
