Nude Study With Piano

nice composition and crop... good bw too

This is certainly nicely rendered, the highlight on her thigh and upper leg working particularly nicely along with lovely lighting and good tonal control, while it feels a little odd to me for so much attention to be brought to the woman's belly via the light. The setup just seems too forced for me, and with no visual, narrative, or suggestive reason. Woman's body with piano. Feels like a very determinate move to create something arty.

A splendid and unique nude study that manages to emphasize the subject's legs.

Very nice BW. Creative composition and beautiful body!

I like it.

lyrical!

I like this picture. Beautiful lighting and composition. Nicely executed technically. I'm not sure of the piano reference but I'm guessing it's sort of a tone poem thing. I'll accept there is some artistic premise there. Anyway, I appreciate the search for something unique.

The only suggestions I would make would be to give the knee a very slight bit more air next to the edge. I realize sometimes it's impossible to change but having very bright element in the corners, like the window and the foreground piano keys, do tug somewhat at my eye for attention.

I have to agree with Fred. It's a beautiful rendering of a beautiful body (and piano) in luscious black and white tones with pitch-perfect depth of field, but I can't quite get beyond wondering, "Hey, why is that woman sitting on the piano?" which kind of ruins the effect.

sorry, not a critique.
