Excellent use of color to create a mood. The contrasting dimensions are well represented and I particularly like the mahogany stool which could be in either world - it looks like it might belong in the past but we know it is in the present. Very nice work.

Lovely technique and great concept (though I would have preferred it with a piano rather than an organ to give a greater sense of old worldiness. Still a really fine job 7

Nice idea and fairly well executed, but somewhat anachronistic. He's dressed like Benny Goodman, but he's playing a modern digital instrument. Of course, if he's coming back from the past, he might be amusing himself with this modern marvel. Still, it would have been more interesting if it were a real piano. In any case, I'm not sure we need to see the back of the instrument -- a different angle or a more overhead view (with a better view of the keys) would have worked better.

I really like it, but somehow the chair seem to be in the foreground of the man. Maybe removing it enitrely would have placed the empasis on the man.

This would have been a lot better better without the stool.

He looks too clean and solid for a typical ghost!

not very keen on the background but a nice shot otherwise.

I think the idea is great, but the image would have been must more coherent without the stool. The focus would have been more on the "ghost" and less on the awkward transparentness of him.

Would have been cool if you held the keys down to make it look he was really playing it.

love the title, what he is wearing, how hes standing like the stool isn't there, because it really is and he isn't, paranormally speaking =P
