Shoot Six - Image Bank

This city that's captured within this photograph is both grand and vast, this is shown through the fact that even the tops of the buildings nearly touch the clouds, implying there's a godly atmosphere within this image. The light which is shining through the clouds only shines on part of the city, this could be significant as it may suggest this is the superior section of the city, this could link to wealth, suggesting that the area of the city which is in light is wealthy; whereas the darker areas may be the more run down sections; the lighten helps to reflect this as the poor are ignored (in the dark.)

The fog within this photograph creates a mystery as to what is hiding in the depths of this fog, moreover the trees are spread apart very vastly which again creates questions within the viewer as to what may be lurking in the hills. The black and white colouring of the image aids the creation of mystery as the viewer cannot see any colouring, which suggests there's a hidden identity of where and why this photograph was taken. 
I would like to recreate an image similar to this, however I would have to wait particularly for fog to be around. 

The tree which is standing alone in this photograph makes questions surface in the viewer's mind, as to why there is only one tree when usually there would be numerous trees; this may symbolise how nature is singled out and isolated due to issues such as deforestation, therefore by the tree being alone this represents the consequences of our actions. 

The vast tonal range in this image captures the attention of the viewer by attracting them to the various dark tones which make up the whole image effectively, this editing would have been done in photoshop, I would also like to experiment with tonal ranges in my images in order to create and enhance my image further. 
The reflection of the moutons in the lake almost represents a mirror, implying that 'nature' is happy with its own reflection, therefore questioning whether humanity is happy with its own reflection? 

The leading line of the pathway in this image takes the viewes eyes on a journey from the foreground of the rubble, to the pointy mountains in the background of this photograph; along this pathway a man is seen to be walking, this raises questions as to why he is there, and what he may be doing? Again, a tonal range is explored within this image which overall makes the image seem more '3D' and not flat.
