The whites could be a bit brighter imo, still a nice shot though...

Try a different angle? I would like to see more of the keys in the photo. Also, you might try getting really close to the keys. Maybe shoot a single key with a shallow depth of field? I do like this photo because it has solid bases in lighting and composition.

What rather spoils it for me is the natural lighting which gives the impression that the black keys are in serious need of some dusting.

Try it in b&w. Or get the colours popping more, like the whites.

Maybe try a long exposure with someone playing it? Just spitballing here, I rather like it as is.

Thanks for all the inputs. I think I will do a retake in the future. @ Capri,I do think The white on the keys should be a lil brighter. Might have to over expose a little.

@Yellowstone,I have no idea about ASR. It's my girl's piano.

Also maybe try to focus 3/4 of the way through the pic instead of right in the front of the pic. that may help draw your eye's into to the pic... just a thought
