juxtaposition

 Original;

This image was taken in trinity centre Leeds, looking out of the glass roof. I chose to take this image because  I thought it represented juxtaposition very well. However, because the day wasn't very nice, the sky was white. Also, there were some dust and water marks on the lens, creating white lines and bluring in some parts of the image. So it was obvious that I had to clean it up.

Cleaned up;

This is the cleaned up version. It wasn't as hard as I thought however, it did take a lot of time, especially with the marks that went from the white of the new building onto the old brown stones of the other building. But overall, I think it makes the image look a lot cleaner. Nonetheless, the white sky was personally bringing the image down. So I decided to experiment with different things.

Edited;

This image is probably one of the best experimented images because the clouds aren't very in your face as i used a blue/grey colour. Even though it's better than having a white sky, it still looks very fake and un-natural so, I decided to just use this image as experimental and not part as my final images.

Again with this image, the day wasn't a very nice day so the sky came out white. Also, I didn't like how the image came out shot landscape as it cuts half of the old statue out and didn't give a very good representation of the scale of either of them. So I decided to shoot portrait and luckily the day was a lot nicer.

Although the image does look a lot better with a blue sky for contrast, the eye is automatically drawn to the old building due to its darkness. I want the eye to be automatically be drawn to the new one because of the lines of it going landscape so it leads to the old building and then the leading lines of the old building will lead to the sky, creating a circular movement around the picture. However, to do this, I need to lighten the front of the old statue.

Overall, I like this image. Its a good representation of juxtaposition and I enjoy all the light colour together but still contrasting at the same time.
