Excellent idea! I might have liked to see the other hand in a bit better focus but this is a terrific faceless portrait.

This is fantastic! I can really get a feel for this man's character even though I can only see his fingers. I like the composition and the sharpness of the fingers and keys.

Love it. Fine controlled lighting to yield texture and shape. Strong composition. Meets the challenge by revealing the subject through his hands at work. If you can't show the face, the hands are the way to go. Well done.

The instrument.. I like fingers, the colors, light, and the intire photo. I was trying to do something similar but it didnt work out. I hope you do well, wich this should I believe because it is very good. It makes me think of New Orleans Jazz...
