Looking at your comments, it still took me a while *searching* for the Euroconcert name before I found it.

no :) it's due to the projector's angle. you see here the projector's pixels

lol, I saw that this image was hidden due to content in the DPChallenge email.

Americans sure are strange in their nudity policies.

Good job with the picture and congratz with your first ribbon!

congrats on the ribbon and a great photo.

to be constructively critical, i think your title is way too long. this image really speaks for itself!! :)

well done!

I think this is a very interesting shot. The focus is off on the music.

Very nicely executed. I love the textures.

02/19/2007 12:50:24 PM
Excellent!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/17/2007 11:25:56 AM
wonderful idea. did you use a projector to get that on her back? i think if the image was a tad bit softer, you would get a very nice flow from her back to the piano keys. the keys seem to be the sharper focus whereas the model's back is somewhat grainy. but nonetheless, it is a powerful image. great job =)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/17/2007 05:47:12 AM
A nice idea, but I think the focus should have been on the notes, not in such a far and small place, as the piano keys.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/16/2007 08:47:03 PM
I am in love with this picture. This is what i was trying to do but it just didn't work. I usually only give one 10 every contest-- this is it =]]]

this is a really great image, however its not an appropriate "school" image, imho.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/15/2007 02:33:09 PM
How ingenius! Incredibly creative, and flawlessly executed. Definitely one of the best in this challenge. 10

giving it a BLUE ,10 .
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fantastic concept and composition. Back again: technically the only aspect that I might tweek is the DOF - the fact that such a small area of the photo is in focus (the 2 or so piano keys) is a bit of a problem. I might have tried to reverse the focus and get as much of the body focused as possible, sacrificing the piano in the process. Nevertheless, a really fantastic concept and I hope this does well.

This surely would be one of the ribbons... my 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/14/2007 09:04:37 PM
AWESOME! A bit soft, but I think this is in the top 10, if not the top 3! Nice job. Incredible imagination! It WOWS me!

Very interesting approach at this challenge. The lighting is solid and the use of the projector of music on her back is a good idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is my favorite in this challenge. Great concept and very well carried out.

great creativity
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/14/2007 12:58:49 AM
I'd like this more if the notes were a sharper as opposed to her hands but otherwise I think it's a great concept.
