I am making my selection for the Landscape final portfolio. The brief is to select 12 photographs to depict the four seasons - three for each. You are told to "
consider the way adjacent images inter-relate and variations in size, format, content and tone so as to vary pace and avoid repetition! However at the same time
, "the theme and your style should unite the separate images" Although this seems simple enough I am having a real struggle making a selection. I guess my overall style is that I like to look for a graphic element, I hope that is enough. Here is my
Winter selection so far. Any comment gratefull received.
Misty Hillside - the intersection of the hedgerows caught my attention here
Snowy Fields - the snow has brought out the lines of the hedges and I especially liked the graphic nature of the lines in the winter wheat.
Winter Beeches - here it is the strong verticals intercut by the horizanals - all emphasised by the snow.

I sometimes think making these selections is much harder than taking the actual images in the first place!
These three seem to work as a group and of the three I like "Winter Beeches" best, I think using the snow to highlight the horizontals with otherwise vertical content has worked well.
I like the idea of the snowy fields, the lines of hedges look good in the snow but for me the middle area is somewhat dark. I wonder how this would look if you tried a vertical crop through the centre of the image?
With "Misty Hillside" my concern would be that it may be a fraction too misty with the hedgerow intersection a little lost. Its a nice image so may be worth playing around in Photoshop.
Thanks for the constructive comments Duncan.
I like the way the lines in 'Snowy fields' leads your eye into the photograph, but my favourite is 'Winter Beeches'.
