Love the reflections. This composition may have been a little stronger with the top cropped (or composed differently) to not show the black area above the instrument. Just a thought. Good luck.

This would have a better connection to the challenge if the books on the shelves were music related. Other than that I like the composition and the B/W conversion. Good luck in the challenge.

Great idea, now if you could have gotten the background to be a true white and controlled the color temp (white balance) better, this would have some potential. JMO of course. The subject is well focused. Good luck in the challenge.

Broken Strings, Broken Dreams

A dream shouldn't be squashed that easily. Replace the string. :D

Forgotten Violen

How could it be forgotten? You'd be hard pressed not to kick it coming thru that door. :D BTW, the open door is a nice touch in helping the composition. It's funny, you've left a lot for the viewer to complete as nothing in this photo is all inclusive (part of the violin, part of the door, etc...). The 'School Days' connection on this is? Overall, an interesting image to look at. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful! Now the question of was this a natural discovery, or did you set it up? Either way it doesn't matter, it's a marvelous photo. I love the B/W tone, you've covered the range very well. The repeating pattern and discrete diagonal lines also adds to the dynamic here. Bravo! Good luck in the challenge.
