Greetings from the Critique Club!

You've received a lot of good comments below. I'll just add that I like this shot a lot. This takes my mind and feelings to the intricacy of music, as well as the technical aspects of it, so it makes my mind go beyond the photo and on to other things: to me a sign that it's a really good shot!

With this in mind, what makes this image work for me is the lighting and the the point of view. The lighting is moody and unscientific and helps us get to the point that music is a communication of images, perhaps, and not just scientific notes played into the air. The point of view shows us a glimpse (and "glimpse" is the right word here as your cropping is also excellent) as to how the magic of music happens.

Someone noted the brightness of the keys at lower left, and that may or may not be true. I don't think it detracts, but I think that you need the 3-D of the keys.

Beautiful shot and well executed. Creative and refreshing idea.

Thanks,

-David

When you're too lazy to give your piece of work a title, I wonder if we should be too lazy to vote on it or to comment on it!

Excellent macro. Not sure about the framing, but I do really like the colors and the DOF of this shot. Nice idea

great pic...very interesting angle. the red seems a bit over saturated...still, a wonderful shot.

Red may be a little over saturated, but the shot is crisp and DOF is deep. -danny

Good execution.

Interesting view.

Great shot!. How about cropping an inch off the bottom, the cracks in the ivory are distracting as well as the brightness.

Terrific detail on this photo -- nice job!

Cool. Love the cracks in the ivory.

Clear, clean shot of fingerprints on the ivorys. Neat shot.

Difficult to pull off.

Overall I like this shot a lot. The only thing that seems weird to me is the placement of the fingers -- It just seems like an unnatural way of playing the piano :)

Like the reflection. Is this your hand? If so, you must be a contortionist :-)
03/31/2003 01:01:55 AM
