Broken Down

I like the picture, but the blanching of the white just almost ruins it for me. This was a broken down piano, as you may be able to see there are leaves behind it. it was just left to rot. i just dont really know how to edit it to make it look more real and understandable for what it is.

it is a little confusing on the composition.
i would have maybe not been so straight on the subject...
they keys themselves look like they are picture worthy... i would maybe have just shot down at an angle to get more of the length of the keys and not the background... as you can barely tell that they are leaves.

thanks for sharing

Default hammer action

Maybe getting a little more depth of field to catch more of the hammer length that extends back from the keys. Of course that would bring the trashy leaves more into the shot, but still I think it would be interesting to see more of the mechanicals.

I really like the concept for this image, I just don't like the top half. I think that if you cropped the leaves out completely it would be a much stornger image. We don't need the leaves to tell us this piano has been neglected.

I think I would have maybe increased the depth of field so you could see more of the background? Also, perhaps changing the angle of the shot would have made it little easier to understand what was going on.

I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.
