Below is the same collage but with a slightly different color saturation. I don't know which one I prefer, so I saved both versions. What do you think -- A (the one above) or B (the one below)?

When I was a kid there were several old comedy movies that featured a piano falling from the window. And, didn't John Cage compose a piece of music that involved a falling piano?

It must make a large noise followed by a big pile of wood and strings.

Fortunately, life is not as riddled with falling pianos as it once seemed.
