The Sound Of Silence

The Sound Of Silence

HDR image of a Steinway Piano at a friends’ home. She’s quite an accomplished artist herself, she painted the images behind the piano in Tuscany, Italy. It is almost a shame that this instument has not been played in years. This is a re-post of my Silent Night image, this one without the black border. I had taken this to work one day, matted and framed and sold three copies of it that day …..

Taken with Nikon D200 and Tokina 12-24mm lens.

My art with 1000+ views

Have a look art this one as well, can you see the four ghosts in this shot?

    I really like the warmth of this. While the steinway is the center piece it really works well with everything around it.
