I know people may not like the 'kid' shot. But this one is the one I am most proud of for the past year. It was taken while my daughter was playing a mini recital for her Grandma. It was also taken with my new Pentax *ist-DS. We'll see how it does...

Nice composition, though I wish we could see a little bit more of her face.

This is what people call "snapshot" quality - which seems to mean: great for scrapbooks but if you dont know the kid it lack enough to interest the masses. Perhaps you are trying to do too much in this image . the kid playing is one theme and the reflecting keyboard is another theme - they seem to compete rather than compliment each other - your white balance could be corrected, it looks pinkish - I wish her face showed, all I can see well is her hands, one of which is out of focus and the other is held in an awkward position.

oh boy, you can almost feel the tension and uncertainty, trying to desparately remember the next note... you have captured quite a moment here, and i hope it isn't overlooked and blown by in this monster challenge. good luck in this and the coming challenges!

This could have been improved with better lighting. The pic looks yellow. If I cant get my colors to come out right I just make it black and white. I think this one would look bettr in black and white but you would have to up the brightness a bit cause it is so dark though.

Nice shot but with her moving it blurrs her and makes the shot OOF. I love the reflection of the piano keys against the piano but again with the blurry from the girl is just to distracting. Good luck and keep up the good work in 2005.

Like the reflections of the keys on the piano, other than that this is a little plain - the lighting is a litle dull and the focus isnt perfect. Nice idea, but the execution could be a touch better. Good luck!
