Reflections
At House of Culture where FRSO rehearses we have this old Steinway grand piano. I tried to find the most interesting closeup angle and I came out with this study of reflections. I cleaned a couple of dirty spots from the black finish in Photoshop (I should have cleaned it myself on the site), and from the keyboard I took off a faint blueish cast on the light gray stripe which was caused by interference of very strong spotlights from above - the white balance could not find a good compromize there. This photo might work well as a black and white image, too, but I sort of like the strong impact of the red - now it looks like a colored black and white shot!

I was only on your site for to see "The exhibit engine" for to publish pictures. First I thought that it is only a demo-site, but this picture catched my interest. Its really nice - good art - and I am sure it would be nice to have it hanging in a big format on the wall. Compliments !

I looked at quite a few of the images in your gallery and for some reason this one really stands out -- though the others were quite nice also.
