Great approach, but the fingers are crowded too close to the top of the frame; a bit less piano and more hand would have worked better I think.

Great idea, interesting composition, but the black keys are too gray. Try cropping the low end of the histogram using levels or curves, you'll get an image with more impact.

My favorite so far! Lovely composition and depth of field in such a small area!

I like the tilted view, but the shot seems to be more about the piano than the fingers. I think it would have been better if the hands had been in full view in the shot.

Very nice idea. Did you try moving the light around to get a more dramatic effect?
