Nancy, I showed this to my Mom (who has a very artistic eye) and she suggested that I reverse the perspective.
Based on her advice, I was uploading a revised version http://www.pbase.com/image/24144304
when my computer crashed! I decided to leave well enough alone, and kept this version. I'm glad you like it! -johnebones

John, I love how you did the perspective differently than most would do it, with the wide part at the top. The diagonal line of the perspective and the lines created by the spaces add another dimension. Great job! --Nancy/JoseNoway

Thanks for your comments. MFC, my brother bought this antique 'honky tonk' piano many years ago. It will play classical, but sounds better with ragtime. -johnebones

John, I like this abstract...reminds me of a spine. Nice, diagional composition, effective lighting, and good use of DOF. The clear details are really interesting & convey a good sense of texture. Where did you "discover" this? Nice photo. MFC.
