Project 1 - Edit Testing

I took one of my pictures for 'land' from the initial shoot and edited it; just a bit of cropping and change of levels. I was aiming to achieve the same style as my precedent (stated before in an early post):




In my opinion, the top right one seems to be the most successful in terms of replication of my precedent's style of photography. But the contrast might be a bit too strong and that results in the ambiguity on the tiles in the centre... maybe in the future I could isolate certain areas and only darken the rest or something.
I also like the sepia-like colour in the top two pictures because to me it communicates the idea of an old and historical area, which is a fitting concept for the National War Memorial.
I like the uniformity of the symmetrical format of the picture; I feel it depicts the idea of discipline and lines of soldiers during war. The angle also makes the fountain wall looks a bit like a soldier's trough which is fitting for the war memorial.
