The strengths of the composition (and pp) for me are the keys: shiny mesmerizing patterns, shapes and play of dark vs. light.

Thank you Linda; this was shot with the far end of the keyboard facing a window with daylight pouring in and some reflections on the white keys. And yes the keys as the focus of the image is where I was going from square one.

It is almost an abstract. The funky pp really works in this image. If I were to pick a nit or two, I might suggest that the pattern on the wall is the only distraction in the composition. I might have darkened it or made it black. That's completely subjective, though. This photo has high impact value and it is very engaging. I like it very much.

Thanks Erich. I thought about removing the stuff on the right but in the end decided not to. This was stuff that was on the image from somewhere (its not really there in real life) but not visible before the edge filter was applied and then brought to the surface so to speak.

I like the look. The gritty look you performed in PP is a plus as far as I am concerned.

The look is very effective. I wonder if playing with colors other than the blue-green might bring out how you feel about music.

Thank you Frank and Bob for stopping by and commenting. I didn't want to get too wild with the distortions Bob and the blue seemed to fit the mood best. There was another possibility with a red/yellow axis but I judged it as being a bit too much.

Good shot. Does not need any change in my opinion. Sort of conveys the concept of rhythm and blues.

Those filters do add funky artifacts; but, if you are looking for funky, that is not a bad thing. Well done.
