For this to be more effective, I would have liked the whole set of keys in focus and clear. Personally, I like keyboard shots that are pulled back just a bit more than this one. I love the simplicity of a black and white keyboard, though. I agree that it's a very photogenic instrument and one I've always wanted to play. I play the guitar, which does have the benefit of being much more portable! :) |

Simple and effective.
I love this shot.
A pity you don't have the use of an external flash. it'll work wonders.
I noticed that you're shooting:
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/54 sec
Try to do an aperture-priority and close the aperture to around 9... and see what you'll get. Remember to use a tripod. |

Critique Club Review:
Either focus or depth of field is a little off. A smaller f-stop would have helped a lot here.
Lighting is dramatic. But the first black key doesn't show enough detail for me. I noticed one person was troubled by the reflection in the second key. To me it gices some reference for the shape of the key face.
Overall I like the picture. The composition is good, the whites are nice and white. It's the focus issue I notice the most. |

the harsh shadows detract from this otherwise strong graphic image |

A play on words more than visuals, me thinks. |

Nice work, but I think the idea doesn't totally mesh with the theme. I still think the photo is very nice though! One of the best piano pieces I've seen in a while! |

Lighting might be a bit harsh, the shadows are not appealing. I'd also like to see a deeper DOF so that both keys are in focus. |

What's that blue reflection on the right black key? |
