Well I read the words but didn't get that WOW feeling. I also lack the ability to get the WOW factor..hopefully you have done it before or will do it soon!

Lighting to soft for the WOW...

wonderful shot too bad the lighting wasn't more cooperative. Maybe toning down a bit and increasing saturation ?

Really cool setting, very interesting. Think you could have gone farther with the shot. Could have tried different angles, perhaps including the boys face or the visibility of his fingers playing. Overall you had somethng cool to work with and I don't think you used it enough to your advantage.

What a sad little piano. It's nice to see the boy giving it some TLC. Nice image, great colors.
