I have been working on two different images. Not sure if the final will look anything like these, but they have certainly helped me focus in on my concept and give me some good ideas to play with.
I love your second image.The color wheel clock is really neat, but i'm not sure how I feel about the flowers blurred at the bottom. I'd like to see more rigid things happening underneath to tie in with the bark of the tree.
I think you did a great job highlighting the colors here, I wish in the first image though you had the parts that re not colored be just a pale or weak color instead of completely grayscale
I really like a lot of the different passages you created within the first image. I'm not sure if I like the symmetry but I think the tree/flowers on the far left are working nicely with the black and white contrast.
Nice process, good start. one challenge with creating different season/colors etc on the same page is it is difficult to unify the composition when everything is spread out. Symmetry might be a good solution. I guess you can't use large flowers in a composition without drawing a comparison to Georgia O'Keefe. Flowers as symbol, good direction. Love the negative(especially) and positive flow of the background lower foilage in the bottom image. Not sure in either image the way you are compositing is resolved in your mind yet. Some interesting spacial/reality relationships beginning to happen--i.e. the sort of fool the eye effect of laying (not layering) an image on top of another image--maybe even with slight shadows as if they appear to really be laying on top of the image beneath. At any rate they seem sort of in between right now, not layered but not quite reality either. maybe you need to make a judgement call on which way the image should go--sometimes NOT layering is a better idea-- try to incorporate the power of the photograph as a document of something real that happened in a time and place.
