Your focus is in the centre. I feel it will be better if you focus on the keys near camera and let it 'fade' upwards. Unless your intention is to focus on middle C?
Instead of straight down, you might wanna try tilting and an angle so the keyboard runs diagonally instead. Can see the keys better.
And since the keyboard is already B&W, try converting the image into greyscale and play with the contrasts.

Hope this helps!

Ok, last one for the evening!

This is more slanted, but less keys and less background.

And no, im not sitting at the piano while posting these, I dont even play the piano!



I think too much slant now and not enough keys, will keep working on it.

Still really like the first one though.

Actually it works in my opinion. There is one small little key at the corner which is distracting. Get rid of that if possible by angling it.

Will work on it tomorrow. No more natural light!

Thanks everyone
