CD front cover shots

This is a shot i took of the sunset in burley. I used the Piknic photo editing software on the interent to bring out the shades of black, to give a dramatic contrast with the sun like on the 'Fatboy slim'  album cover. I love this shot for the wamth incapulated within it. I am not too happy with the framing with this shot, although the sun is centred, i think there is too much of the trees (right) and the bush  ( bottom) in the image.

This shot provides a different feel,  with heavy empahsis on the balck shades of the trees. Contrasted yet again with the sun, this time however i didn't empahsize the orange/yellow of the sun , instead i added brightness to the sun area and then changed the contrast to give that white in the sun. Although there is abit of lense flare, i feel this almost adds something extra to the shot. In comparison to the first shot, i prefer the framing of this shot, but because of the patches of black and white, i feel this would be harder to make into a front cover due to the spacing for the writting (Band name + album name).
