Hi Patrick, I would like to thank you for your comment. I’ll try to make this explanation as comprehensive as possible. Initially, I had in mind for about two months the split queen which I wanted to use in another image, but I never did. The split queen can have various meanings, taking into account not only the cultural aspects. I leave this choice in the mind of the beholder. I thought using a simple back cover with the lyrics from a vinyl with Violator album (1990) was a good idea. I wanted somehow a narrower depth of field (with that lense, even with a very small aperture in size, which I didn’t want to use, you don’t get enough depth of field from a relative small distance) because who recognizes a couple of lines knows what is all about and the fading words must create a more pleasant view. I positioned the queen below a “random” line… Tell me, why I did so? :) I am also a teacher and the redundancy idea came to me from a subject taught in school: Ecology. I won’t describe what redundancy is. Well, thank you for your feedback and I hope I was not too elusive. I wish you all the best and A Happy New Year! Warm regards, Leontin
