I am not too worried about the score on this image. My son was practicing and I snuck in and took some pictures. He noticed me snapping away but kept practicing anyway. I figure about a 6.0 - good contrast, decent perspective, and small number of challenge entries...

I agree about the lamp, I think its a little too bright so it takes focus away from therest of the shot, however I love the lighting on the rest of the photo and this is a fantastic perspective
I wish the light wasn't there, but the child's expression makes up for that. My favorite part of the photo...the child's feet hardly hit the floor. Great capture! 9
I love the angle on this...the child seems dwarfed by the piano which looms huge from this camera point. I also like the fact that his feet don't touch the ground - a very sweet touch.
Wonderful expression, nice tones.
All I can find to improve is the shady corner down right.
Maybe shove a little more light there to make it match with the walls and ceiling.
