 Not much to say. Experimented a lot with artificial vs. natural lighting. There were so many outtakes and it took me awhile to decide if I wanted a photo with two hands in it, or one. Finally, I picked this one because I liked the composition.

Great idea, but poor exposure and focus.

I like the idea of blured hands flying over the keys but you've overexposed this a bit too much in my opinion.

I like the idea of this shot, but it looks like you were a bit out of focus because some of the black keys are not moving, but they are a bit fuzzy.

I would like this better if the focus on the keys was sharper. The whites also seem to be blown out.

Is this a one-handed shot? Neat idea and concept but it's too blurry and overexposed. A tripod and timer release with some light control would make this work better. I took a similar image for the 2-Second Challenge titled 'Lazy Left'. Take a peek when you have time if you care to.

Good luck in the challenge.
