These are some stunning thumbnails. They...Hi Zoe, <br /><br />These are some stunning thumbnails. They do a great job of conveying the complex network of channels throughout the city. I'm particularly fond of your portrait format experiments. The verticality feels as though it directs the viewer down from the top of the image to the bottom, much like cascading water. The asymmetrical composition of elements also gives some dynamism to your scenes.<br /><br />As for your use of colour, obviously blue is going to be a fairly dominant colour throughout, however you'll need to be careful not to over use blues and sea greens. Otherwise you run the risk of making the city appear as though it's underwater (the gradient of light to dark in the sky of some of your thumbnails also makes it appear a bit Atlantean) However, if this is your intention, go for it! <br /><br />Try experimenting with some more contrasting colours to alleviate this a bit. If you look at Venice, for example. The buildings above the water sport a fairly stark, light colour colour scheme that compliments the water below. The challenge is going to lie in finding a colour scheme that compliments the use of water and still conveys your intended atmosphere.Steven Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946722461895676727noreply@blogger.com
