Presentation Ideas

I've started thinking about how to present my final images and knew that I wanted to incorporate black and white aswell as colour.  I had the idea to present a full size colour image with a black & white version cropped to a square alongside.  After some discussion with Marie the idea has developed further and I have starting experimenting with some ideas & images, although not all images that i'm experiementing with will be included in my final selection.

There are 4 images below showing my first idea ........

I think this works quite well and the overall result is pleasing, the last version shows the main image as black and white with the cropped images as colour, but I feel it works better with the main image in colour. 

Idea number 2 shows a black and white square overlaid on to the full size colour version, the same images repeated using this technique.

I love this effect but hard to decide whether I prefer the last inage with a colour version overlaid on to the main black and white which shows off the strong colours, or the main image in colour with a black and white overlay.  I do love the second image as I feel you could just walk into tthe picture . . . . . .

Idea number 3 uses the same idea as above but with a copy of the image inverted and placed on the bottom.

Again, I think this works really well and I like that you have to look twice to see if it's a reflection or just a bit of photoshop :o)  The last image isn't as strong as the first three, this works better with the black & white overlaid onto the main colour image rather than the other way around as shown in the last image.

The last of the current ideas is similar to the one above but showing a colour image only, with an inverted copy on the bottom creating a 'reflection' effect.



Hmm, I like the above but feel that the colour images are stronger than the last image in black and white.  Overall the second and third set of images are my favourite.  I really like the effect that overlaying the black and white image on to the colour image creates ...... I love a bit of drama! :o)  No decisions yet though, I have another couple of ideas so it could all change .........
