Fortnightly competition #7: Scales

This theme I thought of a while ago (you have to be prepared to win a competition sooner or later, otherwise you'll never win ).
I like the ambiguity of the theme, lots of room for different takes. I hope it will be inspiring a variety of different but good takes!

The competition will close at 1800 GMT on Wednesday 22. January 2009.

Here goes, thought I'd kick things off with a picture trying to tell the story of what happens in my brain when I'm looking at music with too many notes on it.

You can't hotlink from PU and EPZ, not even into the forum it seems.

Somehow this doesn't do justice to how sharp this lens is.
At 100% it's stunning
