Nice colors and lighting and model.
IMO it could be a bit sharper.

really really nice shot, very well lit with a very distinctive and attractive background. Lighting is superb with a nice visable backlight.

But....relevence to the challenge is so thin it's wafer thin. "Capture an image representing money". I am sure she does cost you some cash (especialy this time of year) but as an icon representing money it's way off.

Best shot of the challenge though - personaly i would have kept it and submitted to the best of december open challenge.

Although the lighting and exposure look good, I don't like the background as it conveys a more different effect from what you are trying to show here.

This shot was taken with a ~3 second exposure. I began with my hands on the piano and about half way through the shot, quickly removed my hands from the scene. It took some expiramenting to get the "transparancy" right.

Thats a real neat idea for a piano shot! Works well. Almost coulda used this idea for the 'grace' challenge a few weeks back.

Sent a shiver down my spine! I only wish some of the keys had been depressed nearer me, though I understand it must have been hard. 9 :)

Nice shot- a tad gimmicky but nonetheless crisp and shows much technical merit. Just missed being perfect- maybe if a bit more area of keyboard was shown. just a suggestion.

Great photo, I like the diagonal lines. Was this a timed exposure?
