This is marvellous work of both.10/10 and favorits.

Wonderful image, definitely a favorite! Excellent work!

Truly lovely, the sepia tone gives it just the right warmth and the diffused lighting gives it a soft glow. Subject matter couldn't be better and the framing is understated. 10

This is lovely.. I love the sepia and of course the framing is perfect for the image..

Well, I printed this out. Played what I could see. Could not figure out what this lovely piece is, and would like for you to take a seperate pic of the music and send it to my email. lol I would love to play all of it and figure it out. What I could play was really pretty. ;) Anyway, any image that gets that much effort out of me deserves it's high votes. I am impressed with the image. Another nice collab. from you two. Saved.

Great picture, I'm pretty amazed as to how great this is. Everything looks really perfect.

very nice, i just want a piece on there i'd recognize, i love it when i see piano pictures with pieces i know on them :)

the lighting is really bautiful... exelent job.
i agree with bjb wondering what piece it is... :D

An excellent composition and topic. The flare at the far end of the piano seems to blend into the background lights and prevents my eye from wondering to far from the main focus of the image. Very nicely done, Creativity at it’s best.

8/10 - The picture is gorgeous, but I think the framing ruins it. It breaks the natural lines in the picture, and doesn't really contribute to it, other than looking nice, but it doesn't add to its value. Could you post a picture of the piano without the framing?

This is wonderful you two!
I think your wife is thrilled with the outcome?
I hope you surprise her by printing it off and framing it for her wall?

This is just beautiful! Very warm and elegant!

Oh, this is beautiful, the picture and the framing both! This is a 10 and going in my favorites! This especially jumped out at me because I am a pianist too. I love it!!

Good day to you all, I am surpirsed by all the wonderful responses of you all. I am very glad that a picture like this is appreciated and I will try do some more work like this.
Thank you!

THANK YOU!!! this is one great pic - can you play the piece? :)

This tured out very well. It would be a beautiful print to put into a music studio.

this is a really nice capture... so really, what piece is this? I happen to play piano too :)... Currently working on Chopin's Ballade No. 4 in A-flat Major and Chopin's Grand polonaise brillante

what a beautiful monochromatic work you both made :) this is a wonderful image, especially the lighting and the contrasts.. i love pianos as well, i used to play one a long time ago.. i'd like to continue, but i have no time :( but there's always good classical music that can cheer me up :) whatever that piece is, it sure looks good :D

sepia tone is a full guess as well.. you both did a great work :) thank you for sharing it!
have a nice day :)

Great image, the choice to do this in B\W is what make this image so enjoyable. The lighting is perfect.

Nice shot, the angle, everything that you captured, the lighting, well done. I placed this in my favorites. This is also on my desktop.

Amazing image, I love the sepia tone, and the lighting as well, COngratulations!! :)

This really is beautiful. You deserve being the first artist of the week. I want to see more like it!

absolutely gorgeous!

well done, well done :)

Wonderful photo... definately one of my favorites!

Hello Paul....The choice of black and white here really makes this stand out...You have done a grand job of creating atmosphere and mood with this image, and the clever use of light and shadows reveals a real depth to the subject....All the best...Mick.

This is awesome.

The clarity of the notes and piano and off focus of the background as well as the contrasting colour makes it an exceptional image. Well done!

Amazing... Such a magnificent picture. As a music lover myself, this will definitally be going on my favorites list.

sick

Do you happen to know what piece of music that is? The picture is absolutely beautiful! (That's coming from a piano player here. =) ). It's into my favourites!

Very nice job! I really like this. I want to just sit down and play it = ) Great job and I'm adding this to my favorites.

I just ran into this one., A great looking picture, nice angle and composition. I like the glowing effect of the blurred hi-lights in the middle ground. It went straight to my faves. Thanks for posting.

that second last line looks pretty scary *shudders* i miss the days of trombone music only one note at a time..., is there a soft focus filter applied on the highlights or is just purely from a wide aperture?

I love this picture so much! It makes me want to go downstairs and play the piano all though it's half past ten (and the neighbours will complain)!

It looks like others have asked what piece this is...which, I think I'm going to ask the same question.

I love this picture, it's set as my background...I love the colors....
