Description

This close-up vertical photograph captures the intricate fretboard of a steel guitar, photographed by Clayton Cotterell. The shallow depth of field keeps the detailed fret markers and parallel metal strings sharply focused in the center while softly blurring the edges. Inlaid card suit symbols—hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs—are visible along the fretboard among the frets. The natural lighting highlights the metallic textures of the strings and the smooth finish of the instrument body.
