Hi Shelby,
I like the POV and the diagonal composition, you have done some nice PP work and not gone OTT, one thing if you don't mind me saying though, if you post at a max of 600 high you don't have to scroll up/down and can see the whole image.
Nice work, well done.
Ragards and New Year wishes Andy

Hey Shelby:)))
This is so good for Friday theme about movie illustration...
great!!! just "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski - what else to say... we are talking about old time, war, surviving German Nazism and that house where he hide and "play" piano touching only these keys to make no sound that can be deadly for him...
wow!!! I'm so impressed by your work - well done, technically and artistically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers - Tom

Great sense of drama, Shelby! The hands are really expressive. They seem to play the Last Post for this starving house. Your appropriate postprocessing enhances this feel.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Wow! This is great Shelby! Very good framing of your shot. I especially like the tone. The picture is very attractive in the thumbnail but I still like it in full size. I like the detail on one hand and blur on the other.
Cheers!
Freddie :)

Hello Shelby!

Striking shot , and as Linda pointed out , scary mood too. The floor seemed to be covered with trash. This style of photo and set up reminds me the gallery of a familiar member; Kevin Brett alias brettf1 and his theme the neglected.

No offense to Andy here! Cheers!

Hello Dear Shelby,

You have presented a brilliant idea in this image. An aesthetic perspective which presented in monochrome composition is remarkable. Such a beautiful shot, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.
