nice picture & perfect title. Forgive the pun, but the tones are a little flat - maybe some more contrast would make this pop

I like how the piano is well worn and well loved. It seems many a finger has tiptoed on these ivory stairs. Good focus on the one protruding key. (8)

Liked this
good tonal texture

i like the focus right in the range of the ruined/destroyed keys - nice use of shallow dof.

Cool old piano. Nice shot, but I think a slightly deeper DOF would have been even better.

Great title and subject!

Nice nostalgic shot. Seems a little tilted to me (check out //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=21). Nice angle.

nice mood.
11/19/2004 04:14:01 PM
perhaps better with the first keys in focus
11/18/2004 07:52:48 PM
I think this is a good idea. I think it would have been better if you had composed the shot so the keys were more diagonal from corner to corner. But that's just my opinion. 5

Very nice rustic look. i like the depth of field, although I think it would look nicer if more was cropped off the bottom.

Larger DOF might have been better?
11/17/2004 07:18:24 PM
Nice
11/17/2004 12:10:23 PM
nice, needs a little more contrast IMO
11/17/2004 07:27:33 AM
Nice use of shallow DOF, it´s a good shot, only thing I want to nitpick about is that maybe you should have boosted the contrast by a bout +5 or +10 in photoshop, it seems a little bit flat.

This image could use a little more contrast imho. The blacks to be real black.
11/17/2004 06:08:13 AM
DOF is shallow, nice
11/17/2004 01:36:58 AM
I would have liked this more if the DoF wasn't so shallow.

Great composition! It looks just slightly flat, but that just adds to the old dusty feel of it. very nice work and creative use of depth.
