Beyond the sphere

[robert blu]

Beyond the sphere; is the theme of the exhibition my photogroup will have for the end of the year. These are three ideas I'm working on and would like to receive your comments. Translation for what is written is: THIS IS NOT A SPHERE, inspired by Magritte. An exhibition rule is that picture must be square. I have to choice one image and I would appreciate your help and comment. Thanks and regards

Hi Rob,

I like the second one best. There's something I really like about the hands, and the composition - a frame within a frame within a frame.

Nothing wrong with the other two either. The self portrait in the mirror is a nice touch in the third one.

I like the second one as well. However, I find the bookshelf distracting in both the first and the second.

Thanks for the comments. As for the bookshelf I left it in the frame because on it is an homage to the analogic photography (Ilford, Kodak and Fuji boxes). By the way I plan to scan the whole negative (taken with the Rolleiflex) and print it with the border, to state this is an analogic picture. But in the meantime I do not reject digital photography as the image in the computer or in the tv screen has been digitized. In order to make the shelf less distracting I can make it a little darker for the final print. Thanks
