Interesting silhouette!

Strong visual work.

Many people would be satisfied with the enigma of and dazzle of the silhouette against the book, but I think the addition of the secondary outline of a bust really transforms this into a surreal, almost montage-like piece that demands a layered kind of response. It insists that my eye travel around the frame, wondering whose presence is going to win out. It involves me, as a third player in the game.

Un'immagine di non facile lettura, almeno per me. Apparentemente i libri sembrano essere lo sfondo naturale della narrazione, ma subito dopo l'osservatore si ritrova a sopportare il peso dell'ombra in primo piano, fino a diventare lui stesso inconsapevole sfondo su cui l'ombra viene proiettata. Molto coinvolgente.

thanks for your time, my friends. In this photo there so many plans that i dont remember. a bookshop, the reflex of a geant book on the street behind me, the white man that is a pub inside the bookshop, the black man just behind me... i closed shadows becouse books are also inside the black man, toomuch confusion

very good composition

A very nice original result, Andrea!

 

A book wide open for intrigue.  Although you went through an intricate concept, this well conceived result interestingly reminds me of some old imaginative comic strips. Nice one!

Interesting silhouette. Very mysterious. Well done.

I like the sense of mystery here too,  especially as the silhouette is about to disappear out of the frame.  Perhaps the door to the pub is camera left & he is about to enter to find a good book and some liquid refreshment to enjoy with it.  At first I thought the image should have the man on the right, entering the frame,  but then he would partially cover the white silhouette and ruin the balance.  Some things are best left undisturbed.  Best, LM.
