thank you for the lovely comments (and favs!) on the my recent shots...

[Lisa Pouncy]

Very cool. I hope you had a blanket to lie down on so you didn't get too grubby though :o) xx

[Jase]

Oooooo new cam, and good to see its not a Ca-kon :)

[Kitti Nelson]

Great use of the surreally elegant against the very gritty background

[Kate Goring]

Perfect. Excellent contrast between the smooth,classic piano and that grimy, dirty backdrop.

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Love this :)

[Kerri]

Great composition

[Bankmann]

Absolutly fav'able! ;-)

[Dawn Reilly]

[Felicity]

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Great shot. Love the light showing detail in the piano. I love this location and the variety it has to offer. Keep them coming.

@jase_again hey! i still like my canon... a lot... just needed something lighter to carry around in my bag :) and how can you go wrong with 24 megapixels @@@@@

[KWind]

Cool.... What a great environment for the shot!

[John]

Great shot

[Deni]

Wonderful image, well thought out, and love the prop.

[Katie]

Oh my goodness, too funny! Like how the intricate details of the piano are dwarfed by the out of focus mess all around.

[Frank Hymus]

Not sure what I am looking at, but lots of interest anyway.

[❀ Lynn]

Amazing!

[summerfield]

partner thought i was crazy to have brought with me my crystal ball (which i forgot to use anyway) when we drove up to trois-rivières on the weekend. so tonight i asked him if he'd rather have me lug around a piano. and he said, "don't tell me one of your photographer friends does that." and i showed him this photo. fabulous! and did you wear a face mask so you didn't inhale any molds?

[Steve Angell]

Great pic!

[Jocasta]

surreal and wonderful

[Edie]

Very cool shot.

[Andreas]

Really, really cool. Love the processing, the composition, and the fact that you included the full circle in the ceiling. Fav

[Johanna]

Stellar focusing! Such a intriguing mood to this. Decay like this works so well as a background and the contradiction between the background and the piano is great. Totally phantom.

[Jeff Walker]

love it!

[SquamLoon]

Really interesting. I just saw this in the "New" Flickr and I thought it was a real piano! I wonder why I can tell it's not here, and couldn't (at first) there....

In any case, I love it. Fav.

[☠northy]

@squamloon tx! it definitely looks more pristine on flickr... but to me (knowing what it was) i can only see the dollhouse aspect of it :)
