 I took one in color and one in black and white. I prefer the B&W as it feels cleaner to me. I went with a low light setting to get an almost mysterious feel. I also wanted the chairs to be seen just a little (but not too much) to give it a classroom feel.
Pretty much straight from the camera. Only edit was to crop and resize.

honestly, I find this photo underexposed... plus, a tighter shot would have made the composition more effective.

I really like this. This just needs a little more lighting, but the capture and clarity is excellent. Maybe you wanted the picture to be dark.

I think if you cropped a little more off the right had side that would help. Also the bright reflection from the head of the guitar is distracting.

I like the set up of the guitar and piano. I think you will find that many will probably vote this down due to it being a fairly dark image. I had to really fight to see the detail in it.
