    That's awesome, Fernando. A double selfie with double framing. Well done.

    I like your quote by Andre Kertesz who happens to be one of my favorite photographers. It's also interesting that H.C.B said "We all owe something to Kertesz."

    +1 to Sergio's comments and some. The double selfie is good, I like the spacing of the many shapes as they resemble a sixties mindset to shape and form with a touch of shadows.

    To me, Fernando, it is inescapably interesting and challenging. Yet, there are so many elements of it competing for our attention, we do not know where to let our eyes rest. One particular item (of your choosing) needs to be highlighted, IMHO, and probably some competing elements cloned out, or otherwise minimised. My congratulations on making us think and be challenged!
