 Oh, how I wish it were advanced editing. I'd love to get the scratches off of the black keys.

Shot in my completely dark basement, except for a desk lamp to the side.

Basic editing - crop, levels, Noise Ninja, USM, Shadow/Highlight, stroke

Will it get hammered by the voters? Probably. Do I like it? Yes. Will it help my overall average score? Probably not. Do I care? Not really (this time). Prediction - 4.8

Wow. That's narrow! I like the diagonal, but I can't decide if I like the shot. 7

Now THAT is shallow! The edges of the keys seem a bit jagged, but overall this is a creative shot with a nice composition.

Pretty nice abstract using shallow DOF. The lighting is solid and not overly bright.

Strange blurring/focus effects here. Intriguing.

Nice use of shallow depth of field and good angle. I find the dust on the black key is rather distracting though.
