Final Piece - Analysis
I am pleased with how my final image has turned out - I think that editing the image into black and white has made it much more effective, as well as enhancing the contrast between the softer flower and the rough brick surface, which was what I wanted my photographs to illustrate. I think that my photographs and ideas have developed a lot over the course of this project, and I think that experimenting with different photographic techniques and equipment - such as extension tubes - have enabled me to produce an effective final piece. The use of the sharpening tool in Photoshop has also enhanced the contrast between surfaces as the outline of the petal is much more clearly defined than it was before being edited. Experimenting with different techniques in Photoshop have also enabled an effective and interesting final piece to be produced, which I think highlights both the theme of close up, as well as the contrast between smooth and rough surfaces.
