Well, this is a great pic, regardless of the voting. I dont understand how someone could say it didnt hit them emotionally. They must not have kids.

I really love the mood here... Great job

A wonderfully candid and inspiring moment captured here. Deserving of a much higher score. In fact, this whole challenge features dozens of hidden gems down in the mid 5s that absolutely don't deserve to be there.

Thank you for the many great comments. This was my first submission and actually this challenge was the reason why I joined (I was planning to join though). Anyway, he just turned two and was not really playing, but banging on keys. However, he was "playing" with the piano after dinner a few nights in a row pretending just like a great piano soloist (going up and down the keys, back and forth) and I just could not resist taking his picture. Hopefully he will be a great pianist someday.

Nice placement of the child. I wish he was more in focus.

SOOO adorable first of all. I love the lighting cast on the piano from the nerby window (i'm guessing). A little less blur of the background may have been better...sometimes it's good to see the outline of the background adds character.

Very cute! The focus is a little soft, but other than that great job!

Adorable picture. Nice DOF. The lighting on the piano is a little harsh and is distracting. It might have been nice to get more of the keyboard in the picture as well.

A tiny bit unfocused, but it is allways difficult to "catch" kids...

Very cute shot. I really like the lighting. I like the overall softness of it as well. One of my favs so far.

I really don't think this is live music. Music is an organised collection of notes, he's just picking out random notes. Light is very haphazard, glare off the piano takes the eye away from the boy. Too much background clutter.
