Apples and knife by Sergei Rodionov, on Flickr
Interesting* choice of direction for the knife - clearly makes them "someone else's apples".
* by which I do not mean 'wrong'.
hmm.. subliminal message.. ;) I was just looking for a bit of reflection in blade and using it as wee reflector.. But you right. There is something to be said when knife is not really offered to viewer. Creates distance. Meditate on this i shall.. (c) Yoda ;)
Sergei,
First of all, I like your work. It's nicely balanced and the line of the knife guides the view very well. Second, I pledge guilty of shooting offensive stills myself. Are we both traumatized and need to protect our apples? Or am I afraid anyone could steal my beautiful copper pots from the image? I think we have to consult Dr. Freud.:-)
