This really does make for a very curious subject to photograph. Intriguing! The snow and the Christmas tree in the background are a nice touch.

I would say that this is just some POLISH humor. Great idea and makes for a nice story and a super photo. Nice work on your part.

I think it is a great photo. The only thing I see to improve on would be cloning out the cars, "P" signs and the light on the Manger Scene. The piano with the colors of paint thrown on it are very interesting. I guess these are old pianos that probably don't work anymore. It would be a nice way of celebrating Chopin's anniversary.

This is an excellent photograph, especially for its expose of extraordinary frivolity. Indeed, these grand pianos can cost as much as $10,000 or more U.S. and will likely be destroyed after the display. Very well done and thank you for sharing.--Dr. Carlton

It makes for interesting imagery, but to show respect for a composer by showing no respect for his instrument. Interesting.
That aside:
The focus is good and encompasses the entire frame.
To me the balance, and composition, are OK.
The colors play well together.
The light works well.
I see a creative imagination.
Also I believe that this image caries a capacity for story telling.
Very nicely done.
Thank You for sharing,

How very cool, especially if the theory about Chopin is correct! I hope they were non functional and just for show! I would have given a 5 if the comp had been a little different, say 3 steps right to gain a little separation from the tree and to have used the lid to block out the cars! I kind of like the beautiful pastels marking the piano. Thank you for sharing a really unique moment!

I have great concern of the pianos being damaged by the weather. Doesn't the snow ruin them? The scene is interesting. The large Christmas tree adds interest to the picture. Thanks for sharing it.
