Hello everyone. The second one from Beksinski gallery, this is the last one he has painted.

Two days ago Richard Wright has died.

Yes, the play on lines, light and reflections are well seen here. I would never have thought of a crop like this so you composition is steller and imaginative. And Richard Wright is playing that big gig in the sky, RIP.

Thank You Evan very much. I was just trying to create composition which will use Beksinski's art, but will not be simple photo of it. Hope I managed to do it:)

Yes, he is. Hope to hear him someday:)

Best regards, Bartek

Hi, Bartek:)! This photo is really good: simple and effective, with gentle, but visible and strong "working" details. All of them carefully and exactly placed, "smudges" of the Beksinski's paint contrasting with whiteness - really good idea:)! Rgds, Artur

Hi Bartek
The quotation of the Dark Side of the Moon's prism is great
I suggest to crop a little to the right just to have the leaf starting from the fram avoiding that brown stripe. Beautiful compo indeed
Thanks for sharing

I find it fascinating that this photo, which is a photo of someone elses art, is being critiqued by two high rollers (not meant to be derogatory) on PhotoSig. And they've one well as far as my knowledge goes. We will all miss Richard. The painting is wonderful and you're interpretation is great. Thank you.

Not showing the whole here has resulted in more (less is more) Bartek. This carefully constructed, simple composition is extremely effective with the left side balancing the painting on the right. A particularly interesting aspect is the triangles of light in the bottom left. Regards, Ian.

The repetition of frames, in blacks and in whites, is very interesting. It creates a complex image of echos and relations. And then there are those triangular "fans" of highlights on one side and of darks on the other. And maybe the dark stripe on the right edge can be cropped out to leave that side as open as the opposite one. Very interesting indeed.

Thank You Jay. I find this stripe distracting, but suprisingly I didn't thought about cropping it. Best regards, Bartek
