Really awesome finishes! Now you need to learn how to get yourself out of the pictures. (I'm unschooled enough in photographic technique that I don't know the answer, or I'd suggest it.)

i think that reflecting yourself like that on the guitar is a desirable effect.
taking the shot with a little angle with take you out of picture.
