Another in my series about domesticity in the time of COVID. A stainless kitchen grater, seen from a camera's eye view. I cropped this one to 8x10 proportions because the very top end of the negative got fogged by a dark slide pulling out of the bottom of the holder a tad.
Too centered. I see an interesting shadow on the right that was cut off. Maybe Ro3-ing the grater in the lower left and let the shadow fill some of the dead space would have been more interesting. Also be interesting to see this as both portrait and landscape orientation to play with the shape of the DS.
@BGriffin23 I understand your perspective. I disagree. The symmetry is a major portion of the composition - it would feel very awkward, to me, to have it be asymmetrical. I get what you're talking about with the shadow, but that would be a very different picture with a very different composition. I did one like that with the grater standing upright, to the left. You get a lot more of the shadow, but it doesn't feel as interesting to me. Too literal. This is more abstract and makes you look at it in more, different ways.
