CROPPING IMAGES

In the previous season images I didn't do much editing like cropping. In the feedback I received on the images the words isolation and creepiness kept being repeated. They also recommended cropping some of the images for the final winter image needed. Here are some images I have cropped with its original, I have done this using lightroom software...

In the crop of this image, it is quite busier with branches and also leaves than the next two. The amount of leaves could take it away from being a winter image. I have used the multiple exposure image because it displays the passing of time which is closely associated with winter. There is also a kind of stillness in the isolation of the branches. There is also a contrast between man made and natural components in the image. There are electicity cables running through the image which slightly act as a divide. The sky in the image is also one colour, often in winter there is no clouds or sun in the sky, so this works on this level.

The more see able branches in this crop remind me of barbed wire, linking the season of winter with death. I have used a small opacity with the other photo in the crop, to create a pattern feel.
