Monochromatic version- this was my preferred finsihed photo at the end as after the colour photo i played about with the gradiant and made it black and white which reflects the photo i was looking at emulating. The photo has more drama and contrast,but again it needs to be less busy landscape and the hands need to be taken at a birds eye veiw angle. Also i will fade the phot from the centre of the hands to show more of the finger tips.
Colour version- this worked fairly successfully as it shows the landscape through the hands but overall the landscape is too busy and there isn't a main focus point. To develop this further I will take a more isolated photo and play about the contrast and levels.
I've tried to emulate this photo by experimenting with taking photos of cupped hands and using landscape photos to double expose. This uses high contrast clouds which stand out and then the distance is very clear which gives the boat the main focus point. The high contrast of the black and white adds drama to the photo which again draws the eye.
Repeated Experiment
I first made my hand photo black and white and added some contrast by changing the levels which gave more tone and natural shadows.
I then added my waterfall composition on top of the original layer and also made this black and white. I then changed the opacity to around 70% which gave the overlying, sightly transparent effect. Finally I rubbed out the edges of the waterfall shot to reveal areas of the fingers like the original copy. The waterfall photo also worked more effectively then my first experiment as this has a focal point in the centre like the boat which my original didn't so nothing drew the eye to the photo.
