My first picture follows the rule of thirds because the very contrasty metal trees are in the top third while all of the words are on either the side or botom third. My second picture also follows this composition because the telephone pole is on the left third the wire in the top and the bottles at the intersection of the right and top creating a focal point. I color corrected both of my pictures. In the first I added film grain and poster edge filters to make the rusted metal a more dominante focal area. In my second I added a light source, darkened the bottles to make more contrast and made a vinette. I wanted to convey that at the rate we are using up and treating our environment as expendable were going to burn it all out and we won't last but nature will always be there so in a sense either way nature is coming, we as people either need to embrace it and not take it for granted or we'll use it up and remove ourselves from it. Nature will always be there and without treating it right we'll be removed by our own deconstruction of our world. What do you think of my message and how I conveyed it?
