 This is the inside of an antique piano that we have. I took over 100 pictures and finally decided on this one. I had to put my camera inside the piano for this shot so I didnt get to play withthe focus as much as I would have liked.

I used 2 lights, one from the left and one almost directly in front. Processing was camera raw, Levels, curves, contrast, save for web.

I gave this a 6. I like the strong perspective and leading lines. It's got a decent rule of thirds composition. The extremely narrow DOF could be perceived as a problem, however this is normal for such a close macro shot. A higher F stop might get around it, but then you are getting into problems with camera shake. A tripod and self timer could help with that, but you may not be able to get a tripod this close to such a subject. It's strikes me as similar to this one of my own, taken with a Powershot A530 for the P&S side challenge:

Love the angle. It's interesting, and shows off the lighting well.

the shallow DOF ruined it for me....this would fit the challenge so well if you could better see the "lines".
