Rene Magritte homage.
I added the banana because the apple (which was large) wouldn't cover my face. Either Magritte had access to huge apples or he was quite petite...maybe both. Also, I didn't have a hat on...I have a size 8 head...that's big...freakish, even. Basically, I can't find hats that fit unless I look reeeally hard.
Post processing included rotation, crop, color balance adjustments (it was cold and my face was red), levels, and some USM.
By the way, I held the apple in front of my face by putting a fork in my mouth and sticking the apple on the tines.
If you want some useless trivia, after the shoot, I ate the apple and it gave me food poisoning...I missed a day of work and lost a few pounds, so all in all, it wasn't a bad thing. Wait, yes it was. |

| One of the many art replicated ideas, but well executed. Even to the point where the objects in front of face feel edited instead of naturally composed. |

| I like the Magritte reference. I wish the background was simpler, ar a bit surreal in its own right. The busyness of branches distracts from the simpicity of your central image. |

| if I had the time to do a photo, this was exactly what I was going to do! great interp of a classic painting! It's great that you were able to find a place where you had a fence of sorts made from hard material, I believe the original work was a brick wall, so that definately reinforces that you are not strictly recreating the work, as does the combo of apple and bananna. I hope people voting will understand the reference. 10 |
