Still Life with Chair and Visitation

[Bruce Cox]

How do you see it?

I think I get what you are trying to do here but you would get a better illusion if the hanging mobile thingy and chair were both in focus - the fact that the chair is out of focus separates the two things.  Maybe calls for 2 shots taken at wider aperture to keep the background oof and some focus blending.  Dunno.

The pill bottles on the table make me wonder if the hanging gizmo is a hallucination brought on by partaking of the pills.

Thanks both of you, yes, more focus and more pills might be good.
     I had moved the tripod around from the other side where I had been shooting and was realigning it when I thought I saw something in this mix.  This is the back or thingy side of the translucent relief.  I soon went on to move the pill bottles, turn the front of the sculpture to the camera and reframe, though with lesser results.
    The chair didn't come forward in my thinking until I was struggling for a title to this posting.  I may try again.

    Attached is an earlier shot from the other side.
