Thanks for all the comments. Definitely appreciated.
My piano is a spinet. The camera and I were as low as we could get for this shot. While lying sideways on the floor with my head upside down, I made the decision to get a remote cable. Received it today! The paint is a textured gold and that might explain the grainy comment I received. I set the exposure for 30 seconds but turned off the light after 15. Thanks.

Nice abstract. Not sure but with the length piano wire and maybe in a macro setting it might have made more of a vanishing point type of pic starting at the right behind the back pins straight on and to the front or towards the action. This angle is vey nice and I like the curves you got, but I think your VP might have better if you had shot from the similar angle but closer to the tops of the strings. Not sure, But I always appreciate a good Piano shot and I like this a lot.
Lovely idea and lots of wonderful fiddly things to look at. Beautiful curves and lovely colours. Image seems quite noisy and, for me, that grainy effect doesn't enhance this subject.
