Stained Glass #1

Love the color here. This is my favorite of the folder.

Great eye, man. I hope to develop mine similarly.

Great photo! Excellent composition and the colors are really unexpected in this usually monochrome subject. Wonderful job seeing this one and skillful execution in bringing it to the viewer.

Carl, The type of shot one would expect from a piano technician who probably has seen this shot a thousand times over the years. Nice composition & great highlights. Best, LM.

This is a wonderful composition Carl. I love the soft lighting on the keys. It makes me ponder the location of this piano. I look at this and think about some wonderful nightclubs I've been to where I've listened to outstanding jazz until 5 a.m. Where is Bill Evans to play this keyboard when we need him? :)

Ebony and ivory, and gold - meld pleasantly. But am I imagining a magenta cast? Strong composition.

The colors are courtesy of a stained glass window. no corrections were made in PS. I have another one of the full keyboard which has less magenta for some reason, if I remember correctly.

Had to stop here a moment as I just finished taking a few shots of my piano keyboard the other night, in B&W though and as yet undeveloped, because I was curious to see how the play in angles and lines would look, but that's besides the point, as I really just wanted to tell you that I think you have a very good eye for shapes & lines & angles. It's especially evident in this folder.

Nicely composed.

Very nice Carl. This is your world.

Love the colors!

Good combination of color and simplicity

Great color Carl. Just getting around to a lot of the stuff in your portfolio here, and I am at a loss for words.

Thanks for the visit. I had this shot in my mind's eye for at least a year before I found a church piano that was close enough to a stained glass window to separate the colors from each small piece of glass.

Carl, Using the follow up feature, this one is just as appealing to me today as when I first commented on it. It's one of my favorites & the one I identify with you. To me, your use of bold colour in your shots closely resembles the style of the highly respected photographer, Pete Turner. (www.peteturner.com) Best, LM.

Thanks for your kind words, Len . . .one of my favorites, too.

 

. . .and thanks for the the link to Pete Turner's web site. He seems to have a studio on Long Island where my daughter will be attending college. . . . worth a visit, maybe.
