I would take the original photo and make it a moody Black and White. Good composition.

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival....and the microphone smells like a beer....This is a stunner...you definitely captured the feel of the abandoned building and the ghost town...How much of the effects did you do in pp and how much was in the set-up of the shot?...particularly all that blurred foreground...was that a result of a wide open aperture, or is that pp work? The perspective hleps create the feeling as well, a wide shot from close range.....

Nice wooden texture & details on the vertical piano...
And nice PP, as others have noted.

I tried that but I like the color of the wood, it helps make the photo I thought. Thanks for the suggestion and comment.

I shot it at 18mm and added a little blue in P/P to emphasize the effect. Thanks for the positive review, much appreciated.

you're right there and quite used and broke too, but I thought it would make for an interesting photo.
