Love of music by ILTBY

Predominantly for my entry to

's current theme; music.

A very simple expression of my love for music. Please note I risked destroying a very old piano for this shot

Fortunately I was able to get rid of the marker.

P.S: Don't make fun of my heart drawing skills.

Also, please full view

ETA: This piece has been pretty popular so I thought I'd put a bit more effort into the editing. Played around with textures and adjusted curves, saturation and added a warming filter.

ETA 2: This shot is now available as a print after a request

Strange that you chose the "E" key to draw the heart on, it's one of the root notes to the key of "E Minor" my personal favorite key to compose in! Great capture!

Read, please!

ILTBY Featured By Owner Sep 23, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the invite to your competition, I'd love to enter.

I did submit it as a photo-manipulation, but that was when I didn't have a grasp on what a photo manip was

I'll be sure to change its category now.

Thanks again,

Josie.

I love the scratches and also the ...grain? on the keys. wonderful picture!

ILTBY Featured By Owner Apr 8, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks very much

I just added a texture to it to create the grainy/scratched effect.

verybluebird Featured By Owner Mar 25, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

a beautiful concept!
*envies your heart-drawing skills [

ILTBY Featured By Owner Mar 25, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Hehe, thanks a lot

My heart drawing skills suck...I was never one of those girls that doodled them all over their school books

verybluebird Featured By Owner Mar 26, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Hah, I jsut doodle...random...stuff. xD They start off as circles and end as half finished wolves.

RedBeanBun Featured By Owner Mar 25, 2009

I totally dig that. I adore pianos and synthesizers, though I'm still learning--slowly--how to play.

ILTBY Featured By Owner Mar 25, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Yeah, it's a great instrument

I'd love to get back into playing someday.

ILTBY Featured By Owner Mar 5, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Thanks so much! It's great to see this piece has been so popular, I was unsure about it when I uploaded it.

Love of music? I thought it was the brown note!

Sorry, but, if you've seen South Park, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Great photo. I love it.

ILTBY Featured By Owner Mar 1, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

I'm afraid I'm not a South Park fan

Thanks very much

CrimsonThrenody Featured By Owner Jan 20, 2009

I love this, dear. 1. I love pianos, especially old ones. 2. The composition is great!

ILTBY Featured By Owner Jan 20, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Hehe, thanks so much

My only gripe with the photo is the shadow from the flash

CrimsonThrenody Featured By Owner Jan 21, 2009

I hadn't noticed it originally O.o But I see what you mean.
