    Default Piano Player

    Was at the Music studio the other day and took a few shots of my daughter at the piano.

    I did notice when I preview it here, it does look much lighter and a little less colour then when I view it in Photoshop.

    Anyways let me know what you think.

    Thanks.

    I like this shot. Exposure, colour and angle all work for me. I may have cropped the right side a bit more though.
    The pose seems a bit off though. Don't people use 2 hands to play the piano?

    I really like this shot. The composition, lighting and overall subject are excellent. I would however like to see the post walked back a bit; the skin smoothing is just a bit too extreme for my taste.

    I like the feeling this one evokes. I think it's a great capture. I'd leave the space on the right but I think it would have been a bit nicer to have her complete right arm in the photo.

    There isn't much to critique - I just love your foto. But Iguanasan ist right with the right arm - that would be better.

    I would also like to see a little cropping on the right side and more arm on the left. I like the hint of reflection of her face on the front of the piano.

    It work for me ..Very well done. I like the comp and the emotion. Print and frame

    The right arm does not bother me. I know you were trying to go in tight.

    Well done

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.
