A very good and interesting shot of the artist Ece.
It's a pity we can't hear her as well as see her.

You're very generous Ece. Instinctly I knew this was a good picture. Now I know why :)

LOL! Not at all! On the contrary, it takes a deep
mind to look for explanations below the surface. :-))

Ece, My daughter would say deuh! Now I see it. You must think me very stupid!

Dubois, thank you very much!
I didn't flip the image. The image is her reflection in the mirror.
It was a very small rehearsal room and I was pinned to the floor behind and to
the right of her while she was warming up facing the mirror.
Her bow hand (on the left side of the image) is the closest thing to my lens (and most
OOF). In a way, it completes what's left out of her reflection in the mirror.

I like this very much. Any reason you chose to mirror (flip) the image?

Jeff, point well taken!
The title is referring to what (or who) was
coming out of the f holes at the time.
Notice, she is not reading that music (which sits behind her).
Maybe I should call it "warm up with Bach as Beethoven looks on" :-)
All the best,
Ece

Louis, Thank you for your very kind words.
You flatter me! This is my 10 year-old daughter
(and her 1/2 size cello) getting ready to perform
Bach's Suite #2 for solo cello.
BTW, she did a splendid job that night.

I don't claim to be an expert at "reading" photographs, but shouldn't this be entitled "warm up with Beethoven"? (With apologies to Leonardo da Vinci.) Jeff

A wonderful shot! Is that you?
