To answer some of the questions. 1) Yes - the bluecast was intentional. It was done using white balance on fluorescent light, and a blue filter. I hoped the blue would give it the dark night/deathly feel. 2) Yes - the 'transition' was one of technology/construction replacing nature. Hence the 'cry' of the trees being bulldozed away.
The transition was much more in my mind/heart than in the photo. It would've been too much to expect anyone to 'see' what I saw as transition. Thanks for taking the time, though, to try and figure it out. Especially to those who came back for a second look. That alone is gratifying!
was your white balance off deliberately? i'm not sure it works. i might have pulled back a little to catch the same lights on both sides of the, um... machinery
I'm not sure I like the blue overcast of this image...Also trying to get the transition, I'm guessing something to do with pollution, but I'm probably way off. The focus is good on this though, very clear
Is the transition being described here that the dozer is gonna tear down the trees? If so, it's an interesting transition. This photo could have used a little different lighting situation possibly. However, the 'blue' does a nice job of accenting your theme of 'crying'. Nice shot!
Blue, blue and more blue ! Might want to have a look at your white balance, unless you meant it like this. Not sure I'm getting a transition from this - are the trees being demolished ? Composition needs some work to more effectively show the transition/ tell the story.
