cuatro puertorriqueño

[lando_pr]

Here's a photo I took during a Xmas gathering. It is a Cuatro (four). A ten string instrument that's part of Puertorrican culture. It was taken with a Fujifilm S200EXR. I wanted to know what you guys think about the composition in general and if I should've kept the flowers out of focus.I am a beginner and some feedback would be great. Thanks

Posting in the critique section requires a bit more work. After all, you're asking others to work on giving you advice! Please read the forum rules and include the information asked for. Thank you!!!

Oh, well. Sorry about that. I'm new here. I don't have the photo information available. It was taken with a Fujifilm S200EXR. I wanted to know what you guys think about the composition in general and if I should've kept the flowers out of focus.
As I keep on reading more and more I would know what things to look for and ask to be critiqued.
For the next photo I post I'd make sure I have the specifics.

That's neat. Sorry for being such a rookie.
