@Elaine-: OMG, you are too much, thank you El, what a wonderful thing to say. I adjusted the contrast and overlayed a soft focus, took about 5 minutes to post process and load, not a lot of time spent on this one really. Most of the work was in the composition I guess I would have to say. Thank you again my friend!
Un beau Yamaha, digne d'un Mozart. Un Noir te Blanc, digne . C'est voulu cette mise point , vu les partitions sont un peut flou .

29 Sep 2008 12:24pm
@Marcie: a really lovely comment Marcie, thank you ... I am very touched.
When I saw the title and the piano, Scott Joplin came to mind, but somehow I don't think that's the music photographed.... Oh well - at least we share the same manufacturer for our musical instruments. This is a beautiful image.
29 Sep 2008 1:01pm
SUPERB...I swear I can hear Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1....it's that lovely and 'classical'
29 Sep 2008 1:11pm
I like this one and especially the processing you applied!
29 Sep 2008 1:16pm
wow, classic indeed, the bw effect adds alot to this shot.
29 Sep 2008 2:18pm
Great image!
I tried that too but unfortunately I didn't succeed,... You give me inspiration. Thanks!
29 Sep 2008 2:44pm
Gorgeous compo Kylie... a very artistic way to share music. The blurry effect enhances the crop. Great and brilliant.
29 Sep 2008 3:53pm
Wonderful b+w. The shot is so crisp. Lovely.
29 Sep 2008 4:05pm
That I should someday be capable of visualizing and composing such a lovely photo is my "dream"... perhaps realized, perhaps not. Your work is inspirational!
Thank You!
29 Sep 2008 4:53pm
@Bill: Ohhh Bill, wow thank you, that is such a beautiful compliment and comment, I am so touched. I try to "feel" the image before I take it and somehow it just comes, I hope it does for you too. Thank you so much I am very honoured. I will send you the 'personalised' Caturday mail tonight when I have a little more time, thank you and have a great day!
What a gorgeous shot.... love the way you softened it.. so pretty...
29 Sep 2008 6:00pm
B/W is very appropriated for a black piano and, black and white keys.
The soft blur on the musical partition add an extra on this photo.
29 Sep 2008 6:38pm
Very oryginal subject!
The light is so beautiful. Really a wonderful picture, Kylie! :)
29 Sep 2008 7:45pm
très joli rendu, avec ce tilt qui rend l'image dynamique.
29 Sep 2008 8:22pm
Great quality once again, you recent B&W images are outstanding, I really like the dreamy edges, and the way the light has been so well managed.
29 Sep 2008 10:01pm
sorry to add another comment :-) You probably won't believe me but yesterday I was actually saying to myself (not out loud of course :-) that I wanted to take a picture of a piano. seriously :-) very weird. Anyway, you beat me too it and with a very lovely interpretation of it. And you play as well? some people never cease to amaze me :-) cheerio.
29 Sep 2008 11:31pm
@[suvni:R]: You can comment as many times as you like my friend LOL! Ahh great minds think alike... I am interested to see your take and composition on it now. I play a little, not much time with photography, but it is such a beautiful instrument, sometimes it just beckons me in and I just sit there at it for hours, it is amazing how it soothes the soul. Thanks for your comments Suvnir, and I totally believe you, I hope you will still take an image and post it for us!
goodmorning :-) It just came back to me why I was thinking about a piano yesterday..I was listening to Diana Krall :-)) nighty night for now. need my beauty sleep :D
30 Sep 2008 12:25am
@[suvni:R]: hahha, you also have very good taste in music! Sweet dreams!!
Wonderful! The contrast is perfect, as is the composition, really well done
30 Sep 2008 1:10am
Ah, I see we have something in common. I play all 88 keys and mine's a Yamaha too:-) This is a beautiful capture of your piano. Definitely a "Collector's" item...for VFXY:-)
30 Sep 2008 5:32am
@sherri: :o), ahh nice to know someone else that plays, and a Yamaha, good taste Sherri, I am very touched and your VFXY collection comment, thank you my friend!
dreamlike. yes, solace is dreamlike.

30 Sep 2008 6:06am
Wonderful composition ! a very great b&w
30 Sep 2008 6:38am
The composition is very interesting, half on the keys, half on the notes, with the black bar in the meedle. I like it. I can hear the music (;)) SwissCharles
30 Sep 2008 3:43pm
Kylie, this is pure elegance and heartfelt emotion. One can hear the piano being played with such passion. Wonder, wonderful image!
