Up Close on a Steinway & Sons Piano

From a distance, I saw the empty rows of chairs and heard a pianist casually at play at the Chicago Cultural Center.  Up close, however, I marveled at this Steinway & Sons piano.  Its mélange of shapes made it challenging to compose in a photograph, but I liked the last one the best.  Where I managed to capture its texture, too, and the sheen of light on its body and cover.  While the metal stands for microphones contrasted its wooden warmth and sensuality, the arching windows in the background paid a kind of homage to it.
