Connecting Essay Five

This is my image from my sixth shoot, I really like how this turned out, the shadows are all pointing in the same direction and I like the birds eye view that I used in the shoot. I think it is a bit more childish than some of my other shoots because I used toys for it, however I think this relates to a lot of the research that I have done so I wanted to try it out. 
I like the colours in this photograph because it is a lot of bright primary colours. I used a white balance to make the colours a little bit more faded as I thought that this would give it a bit more of a retro effect, as well as reversing the orange tones of the photographs before.

This image by Andre Kertesz is of Volkswagen cars, they are all set up next to each other quite randomly, they aren't put there depending on colour or anything.
This image uses leading lines well, the cars are in a straight line which leads your eye up the row to the corner of the image. 

The two images are similar because they both have objects set up in lines and organised well, the difference between the two is that the cars are in black and white whereas my image is in colour. I also used shadows in my image, whilst Kertesz didn't really use shadows at all, he used natural lighting for his photography so he had less choice over the shadowing.
