Weather Across the Piano
Three successive views of a black grand piano show changing storm-cloud reflections across its closed lid, with the keyboard remaining still.

Quiet documentary photographic motion sequence, overall 3:2 landscape: three equal adjacent frames separated by thin ivory gutters. Same black grand piano, same fixed camera, same rehearsal room, photographed moments apart as clouds pass. Elevated oblique close view: the curved closed lid fills most of each frame, with a short diagonal strip of ivory and black keys along the bottom. A large nearby window reflects dark storm clouds and a bright opening in the glossy lid; that luminous patch shifts slightly between frames while the instrument stays completely still. Preserve subtle window boundaries so the reflection feels physically believable. Restrained charcoal, ivory and cool daylight colours. Minimal room visible, just a plain wall at the edge. Realistic exposure, modest surface wear, natural optical reflections, no exaggerated grain or HDR. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
