Bride and Groom patiently waiting at the end of the rehearsal for their wedding party. Half asleep and ready to go home for some sleep they found a private spot at the piano to stay out of the bridesmaids and moms decorating.

they look so tired! hope everything went well...
i would have enjoyed seeing this shot taken from a different angle, perhaps from their side, to really draw more attention to the reflections on the piano...

Good iimage.

The reflection doesn't really add much if anything to this picture, IMO. The expression on the bride and groom's faces could say quite a bit -- are they tired, uncertain about the future, or just drunk (bachelor/bachelorette party, perhaps)? A bit more emotion could really make this shot. The choice of background is unfortunate -- the wood paneling makes this looks too much like a snapshot.

Good concept with a good choice in reflective surfaces. Clever. Unfortunately, the surface is also reflecting some distracting light back up into the subjects. Diffusing the light source and adding a black backdrop would add a little drama to this well conceived photo. BTW, nice family.

why are they upset?

Creative idea to use a piano for reflector.
