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.:-)





Sorry for the poor quality, shot this only to test a new film.

Protectionism... "Stay away from my apples!"

Very beautiful! I love this "Japanese feel" of this very clear composition.
