Bokeh Melody

how did you do that? amazing!

Flash head was adjusted to hit light on those black keys to get this effect.

:o Magical!

gorgeous bokeh!

woo000OOOW!!!

I love all the little circles as well! Fantastic effect!

aha. kicked to front page!

the light is tinkling the ivories...very beautiful

how wonderful！

i have to say, this is one of my most favorite shots on flickr

i like the fading bokeh

judo_dad1953 says:

I'm listening to Franz Schuberts Unfinished Symphony No.8 in B minor; as I'm wandering through your photostream. Its a perfect combination; it draws me to the image, making me wish I could pass into it and experience the moment wholly. Still, doing so vicariously is no small thing. Its an enviable record of an enviable moment. A tip of the hat to you for posting such a beautiful photo!
