wow, I like all the reflections, the capture begs for someone to play that piano.

Amazing capture Tara. God bless.

Their home is so very elegant, and you are the perfect photographer for such a place!

bien vu!

ha ! that's cool !

Great capture that is very cool

Excellent light in this Tara.

Lovely shot Tara and those windows must be a pane to keep clean.

You have a keen eye (not that I didn't already know that) to pick up on the light on the ceiling & use it as a unique compositional element. I'm a little puzzled about the physics of this, as I usually expect light to be coming in from above & projected onto the floor, rather than the ceiling...

Very nice looking....cozy

Beautifully seen and captured.

What a superb shot you have taken here, Tara :-)

Hello Tara. It seems a lot has happened since I was last on here . Congrats☺. Excellent work as always. Mick

Wow! What a beautiful room! I would like to hear somebody play. Great, great shot!

I not only like the light on the ceiling Tara, I like the whole composition!

As usual I am behind. First , beautiful capture. I have seen many pictures of pianos, almost over done. This one is so very elegant that it made me look. The light is beautiful and the feeling is one of welcome to anyone who would like to play. So, who plays? David, Trent or both ? What kind of music ?

Lovely skylight. I agree with Andrea, an elegant home I would love to see. Outstanding lighting considering you were shooting into the bright window.

That light is lovely - what a great shot, Tara!

Elegant setting and beautiful image, Tara... the light and reflection are well seen!

Re Claude's question, I would assume that the light is reflecting onto the ceiling via the piano's shiny surface, right? What a superb capture of this immediately recognizable room--and piano! They should know their piano is famous here!

I'm not sure how the light got there! For once, I didn't put it there myself! LOL! Maybe reflected from cars down on the street? Maybe, as you say, from the piano? Perhaps it's because the glass is original to the house (1920s) and it's slumped, making the light reflect in a funny direction? It was a very bright day, and all the walls are white, and there was no other furniture in the room. So many variables!

Lovely atmosphere here :)

It's a bit of a mysterious photograph, which I just love.Those beautiful windows with tinted and frosted glass​​. It also exudes an mysterious yet a very intimate atmosphere of security. In my opinion the beautiful reflection of light on the ceiling comes not from the piano, but just from that lovely window, Tara. But, who knows ;-).

An Outstanding Image,

There's a dialogue, above, about how the light got on the ceiling. My entry is that Trent and David PAINTED it there, so people could ponder "how'd that light get there?" It wouldn't be a lasting trick: Once you've seen it, the whole bit's over, and then you have to live with the damned thing the rest of your life. But yes it could come from the piano, from the floor, from the glass, from something on the patio, all kinds of things. But it gives articulation to that beautiful interior space that you've captured many ways before. And it's a quiet presence here, kind of "crowning" the rest of the shot. But as a pianist who still yearns to play the piano again (I mean every single day, without exception), I am drawn to the piano as well. You've done a number of shots of this piano, and they all are grand---no pun---and beautiful, and they capture several moods of the beautiful beast. This one is a blue interior mood---I keep coming back to that word "interior," but it's a big part of your interior shots, I mean interior mood not just interior space. The blue-ness of the shadows make the piano feel reflective and inward, as pianos will feel in darker interiors, during bright days outside. This piano would call out for reflective rather than dramatic, music. And because of your crop, the pic opens up as we go up---into the beautiful almost cathedral-like window, and all that open space above, as well as to the blinding bright lights of the patio and outside. You do have a way with dissolving-light, you do it beautifully, and you have a second sense of how it contrasts with that intimate enclosed feeling of the interior that the light bathes. Your shots of this piano are a category all to themselves, and I've yet to see one shot that wasn't beautiful and expressive of the massive beast that grand pianos are. They're big swooping black behemoths, and they shine like jewels. (And, when tuned, they sound like them too---the original pianos were much more strident and cutting in tone, more 'string' like, more what metal strings were supposed to sound like; whereas the modern piano has a jewel-like tone that's almost non-string-like in its purity. Thus they sound, at best, like they look. Like diadems, jewels.) A quiet loving interior portrait.

I like the light on everything! really a classy evocative image... I like it very much
