I think these edits are very effective in representing the constant movement and rush within town centres and the chaos associated with them. I believe the use of three prominent colours help to make this image visually pleasing and the composition and use of leading lines draws the viewer around the picture to key aspects of the images. These photos most definitely  link to modern day photography conventions in the way there is a use of shutter speed to create a sense of surrealism and the vast alter of colours and lighting to add to this.

These edits are personally my favourites due to the vast change of colours in which I added to create a more interesting sunset and the realism it continued to carry. Also I think the use of leading lines in the bottom photo helps to captivate the viewer and then lead them down the water to the main focus of the photo, this being the sunset.

Again, I believe these edits are very effective in portraying a sense of modern day photography. Many people, enjoy photographing the sunset, more recently it is a very popular subject matter with many people capturing the sunset on their phones for social media sites such as Instagram. People always imagine and dream of the ‘perfect sunset’ consisting of pink/orange and teal colors however this is a very rare thing to actually come across. Therefore people often will edit their photos to portray this dream sunset and create a more interesting photo like I have tried to implement into my photos.

Here are a few comparisons between the original photographs and the post production images.
