Very unusual ...

Interesting how the handles are different shapes. Custom made?

G'day mate

Not only a most interesting subject, but also -it seems- that you have "assisted" the primary image during pp! Well done

ps- the shadows are a perfect reflection of the handle, so it seems to me that they are one image just duplicated
Right? or Rong?

Thanks, you give me an idea with custom made door handles, I've been doing metalwork for 20 years and something like this would really be a challenge. Below is what I actually did.

Thank you, yeah you're right, this is an image of a door handle that has been edited via a plug-in (twist effect) to create different shapes, the visible shadow is from the original door handle. To get a more graphic effect, I added grain and used a plug-in called pencil drawing. The rest is nothing more than mirroring the different images in relation to each other. The door has been painted white in the meantime.
It's intended as a surreal image (I'm a big fan of the Belgian artist Rene Magritte, among others), where I'm more interested in the "trick" of the distorted door handles than in pretending this is reality, which is why I do not clone out the shadows, if that makes any sense. Over the years I've made several of these types of images and what I like most is that everyone can see something is not quite right somewhere, but it's often not entirely clear where the shoe pinches. Like these 2 mages from several years ago.

What is really interesting to me is that I could see a door knob like the one shown above actually being made. I would never have known it was a manipulated image.
