A really great shot! I love how you captured so much detail and then were able to get the fingers in motion. Had to show this one to my wife as she had played one for many years! A photograph worth tooting your horn for!

Dan, I can't imagine how you improved the original...I studied them both a moment ago, and your eye is even more observant than previously thought, if you "caught" anything amiss on this.
You have inspired me to give Kismet another go! :)

10/27/2004 12:05:38 AM

Wow, you're quick, Mary!! There were a few little glitches in the original that kept getting bigger to my eye every time I looked at it. Eventually, that's all I saw. ... I feel much better about this revision! ... Thanks so much for your feedback! I appreciate it! ... Can't wait to see "Kismet"!

10/27/2004 12:09:18 AM

This is gonna be a winner for sure!!! Hard to tell the difference on this one! Great work, Dan! A pleasure to see it again!

10/27/2004 12:11:24 AM

Don't know what was wrong with the previous version, my eyes are not as sharp as yours, that's for sure!! :-))

10/27/2004 12:21:36 AM

I'm the same way, Dan...the smalest details bug me until I fix them...I even lose sleep thinking about how to make it better...well, like Jordi, I too didn't see anything wrong with the original, it's still a wonderful shot!

10/27/2004 2:14:03 AM

The first one looked good to me, but you are the artist here. This one is still fantastic, Dan.

10/27/2004 2:22:04 AM

Wow, wonderful work Dan. The sense of finger movement really makes this image. Wonderfull detail.

10/27/2004 3:04:33 AM

Outstanding work Dan! Jeff

10/27/2004 3:29:17 AM

I'm commenting again, This is a terrific image, Dan!!!

10/27/2004 3:29:57 AM

Dab, I don't know how I missed the original version, but this is magnificent. I love the colors, that shutter-speed freezing of the finger movement, and the intricate details of the entire image. Extremely well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan

10/27/2004 4:14:24 AM

I didn't notice the reflections the first time....Still a great shot!

10/27/2004 6:51:39 AM

I missed the first one, but this is an awesome shot! I love the captured motion and the tight crop.

10/27/2004 8:19:08 AM

I am so amazed that you have captured the moement so well and so perfect.

I am returning your statement back at you, Dan...
"...a winner is born..." !!!

10/27/2004 9:19:26 AM

10/27/2004 5:08:32 PM

Okay Dan...I'm glad to know that I'm not the only perfectionist out there. I didn't notice any imperfections in the first however...but it's never as noticable to others as it is to ourselves. Still a fantastic image with or without the changes. :o)

10/27/2004 5:23:44 PM

Mary, Sanjay, Jordi, Donald, Paul, Wayne, Jeff, Colette, Allan, Mellanie, Joy, Nobi, Evy, Jonna, Stacey, Cindy, Marie and Wendy: Thank you all so VERY much for taking the time to leave such generous feedback! I really appreciate it!

10/27/2004 6:09:07 PM

Thank you very much, Mary-Ella!! I would be delighted if this shot is a winner! If it's not, though, it'll be great seeing shots of you eating your hat!! ;) ... Thanks again! I sincerely appreciate your kind and encouraging feedback!

10/27/2004 6:30:53 PM

Not sure what I missed on the first one, I guess all of my attention was on the capture of movement of the fingers. I stil say this is one awesome capture.

10/27/2004 6:55:35 PM

Thanks, Darren! I appreciate it!

10/27/2004 7:43:26 PM

Dan, I just love this very daring and wonderful image! You broke all the rules (rule of 1/3s, don't cut image into 1/2s at the centre, don't centre, use diagonals not straight lines, etc!), and you came up with a truly superb image! Only a real artist would be daring enough to try this, and only a wonderfully skilled one could pull it off successfully! You've pulled it off brilliantly in this superb image! Many congratulations on your very well deserved win!

11/18/2004 9:43:57 AM
