I think this one may have fared better with a 1x1 crop. I do like the image just not the crop :)

(Know that I only vote in even numbers.)

A four for you. A clever composition that wants to be abstract. The lighting is dull, though, and the impact just isn't there.

Comment by tvsometime:
Based on the plot summary (I haven't read the book) there is no apparent connection to this crime novel, only a literal reference to its title. The shot is well detailed and moodily exposed and I like the POV to add some instability/tension - but this old organ has me thinking more Broadway theatrical horror (as in Phantom of the Opera) than modern Welsh noir thriller. 5

Comment by Cory:
Initial Reaction: An organ...
Suitability for Challenge Topic: It seems this book is about a Russian poet found dead in Scotland. By a retiring detective. Ok, so sure, organs are used at funerals, but... That's a pretty weak connection.
Aesthetic: Lint on keys, and a bit dark overall. Nice DOF.
Needs Work: Exposure, concept
Final Thoughts: Not a bad image, just the wrong challenge, or book choice.
Score: 4

4...I'm not familiar with the story, but I just don't find this image very engaging. I think my main problem is the light...it could use more pizazz. It looks like it's being lit with an old school fluorescent tube.
