Beautiful photo.

Great b/w first of all. The shadows and the lush light here are great. This is a fantastic composition as well, and as much as I dislike heavy black borders, it works here.

With a frame you can put it on a wall in a musicstore. Good job.

Hi Michael

Nice graphism, pov, & sepia tones, in this excellent tight crop, of some piano keys. Good work!

Wonderful detailed closeup of these piano keys Michael. Again the detail is excellent and the reflection of light onto them is a nice touch, good diagonal composition too.

Beautiful picture. I like the framing and POV you chose. I also like the tiny scratches on the white keys so it makes me think how someone plays it in the evenings and the music flows from the silent room to the window and then up

Shht, I'm gonna have another look. ;-)
I don't know why, but I get an association with a box of the finest chocolats :-) I made a selection of piano-pieces (in different music styles) and once it's finally compiled, mixed and burned, I'll definitly want to use this as cover-image (if I may)
The compo is strong, with chunks of B&W, harsh reflections of blinds (again ?) yet the overall impression is one of peace, of craftmanship, of expectation...
Strong, very strong ! I bow my head to thee ;-)
Kind regards

I feel some shame, not to have commented about this "creation". A true piece of photographic art Michael. No photo, but a masterpiece. Viktorija must be realy pleased by this.

See you again, I must check my masters more often.

dear Michael,
every key of piano means one step closer to Light.
every fingertouch of black & white's gives a reason to live and believe ..
i can only say that i'd would never be born if i didn't wanted to know what Music is ..
yes, Michael, it is soul, one unity of the universe in the whole times, it's personal and universal, it is the best what God gived for humanity...
only in the music sounds we can feel our souls synthesis with the world ..

Thank you,Michael for beautiful photo and dedication ...
p.s.
sorry that i'm not reading sometimes, only leave a smile ..
but better late than never :)
warm regards to your day..

hello Michael, by seeing these keys of piano you do not know how much you give me happiness, I hear with far my father playing and the sound is lost in the distance. For the photograph it is excellent and deserves its points.

hello Michael, en voyant ces touches de piano tu ne sais pas combien tu me donnes du bonheur, j'entends au loin mon père jouer et le son se perd dans le lointain.
Pour la photo elle est excellente et mérite ses points. jp

Hi Michael,
wonderful play of shadows and lights. Wonderful use of lines. Pattern of reflected in the keys light source adds to the photo. I agree with what you wrote about square crop. Also the wide, black border fits here very well. tfs
