hdr Flights of Fancy

Is she a serious piano student?

Ha! Yes, the effect works even better in thumbnail for some reason. Beyond that 'trick', there's plenty here to tickle my visual and thinking tastebuds. Cheers.

I really love the piano reflection detail and the open space created by the raised top; a perfect setting for the pianist. While the picture on the rear wall adds a bit of whimsy (and perhaps why you took the shot), I bet this image would work as well (even better?) with a young girl at the seat, and a clear white wall behind. Another way of seeing...based on the wonderful framing you set up.

Actually I took the shot as part of an assignment on window lighting and to continue experimenting with HDR. A couple years ago, I took the shot you suggest, except that I used myself as a model. (Not quite the same, though . . .)

 

I didn't even see the possible connection between the nun and her position as a piano player until I'd done most of the postprocessing.

Very charming work of art, Carl... I love it very much!

Excellent composition,very good light and exposure,Carl. I like the choice of tone and theme of this image. Very appealing to me.

Soothing and inviting.
