Greetings from the Critique Club

You have a very pleasant image for your entry in the Perspective Challenge. It certainly fits the Challenge well.

Technically, I'd suggest that a bit more of the keyboard be in focus. According to the numbers you provided, you took it in a fairly dark place and that 1/60 of a second shutter speed usually cries out for a tripod. Or at least something to brace your camera on. That, I think, would have made this image nice and crisp in the foreground. You might also consider bracketing your shots to find the best one.

Then, compositionally, while it has a nice progression of black and white to the very end, it could use a little something to stop the viewers eye and keep the viewer in the picture. It could be as simple as placing a flower or a ring on the keyboard. Experiment with placement, front to back.

It looks as if you are having fun with your DPC experience. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.

Nice perspective... would perhaps crop off the dark piece on the left hand side for more of an effect.

Hi
Nice lighting choice on your photo... Maybe it would have been better to have hands on the keys playing the piano??

Nice shot, I like the b/w. I didn't make it to this shot during voting but I would suspect I would have given it in the 4-5-6 range. Lighting is interesting and the angle works. Blur on the right hand side is a bit distracting and takes away from this shot IMHO, tighter crop and or adjusting DOF would make this better.

Nice picture, I like the perspective too. I don't think you really need to improve anything.
