It isn't the slickest (technically) tour de force, but the most interesting image among the lot in this challenge. The inclusion of the rake, especially, provides a strong anchor for anyone struggling with a way to come to terms with this photograph.
The three areas of interest (nose, bulb and rake) might be perceived -or so I feel- better weighted if they could be more centered within the whole of the frame. The margin between the rake, on the right, and the right border, could be a little wider as well to reflect the givens on the left of the frame.
The manner of this absurd capture, so boldly unpretentious and unfanciful, is disarming. What we have here, the way I see it, is a little art noire, uncooked and wonderfully integrated with just the right title. |
