PotW April 16 2013

Some very interesting images posted this week, but for me, with my musical bent, the choice almost easy.

Geoff M posted this image, which makes wonderful use of light and shade. For instance, observe the subtle shadow of the fingerboard on the body of the instrument. Then there's the texture in the chest of drawers, and the placement of the book. All elements that add to the image. Is there a pair of spectacles in the foreground, lower rh corner of the image?

Well done Geoff; thanks for posting this fine image.
