Melanie you are absolutely right even abot the bucket as a note :)
thank you for everyone who commented!!
*************************************
I've never read any Seuss poems, I just knew he used to begin his alphabeth lines with: big F, little f, what begins with f?
so I began it all with the F-clef
;)

Striking and original b&w, with a slight surreality thrown in. I like this non-obvious take on a Seuss reference.

I did not know the Seuss verse reference from your title. Now that someone posted it below, I can put it all together. Great arrangement and composition. Love the simplicity and the lighting.

I liked the lighting and processing on this a lot, but I didn't understand the f-clef and bucket connection -- my fault for being dense.

Wow!! This is awesome! Way to go capitalizing on a cartoon type challenge, and coming up with a photo that is awesome under any circumstances -- a wall hanger!

A very interesting b/w study. It invites another look and then another.

Very interesting set up. Nicely taken, although the dark shadows on the one side seems to put it a bit off balance.

Had to go look up an image of an f-clef to get this one.

This challenge has taxed my memory, I had to go back and look this one up. Excellent rendition. 9

Big F, little f, what begins with f?
A floor, some feet and fingers,
And a clef made out of Steph!

I'm guessing the bucket etc. is supposed to be the note to go with the clef? Took a bit of figuring to work this one out for me. Interesting idea though. I'm not sure about the lighting... seems too uneven and blown out in spots, and you can see through the bucket, yet I like how it's simple and sort of creates a silhouette type look.

svetlana, do you keep one section of you house empty and spotless for your pictures?

I thought I was familiar with Dr Seuss but I don't get the reference here. Nonetheless, I'm sure there's a valid one so I don't doubt you at all. I really love this image though - it has it's own odd absurdity to it and is really rather intriguing and striking. I love the surreal bringing together of girl, musical nomenclature and bucket and mop.

Love the composition with the lighting grad from right to left. Maybe some black gloves, and face paint? Just nit pics, great image.

Nice lighting

I frankly don't know what to make of this. The connection with the challenge theme is lost on me, probably my fault, but I do like the composition ... foreground and background spaces. Nice work.
