Fourth Plinth- Straight Images

This is my final image, I edited this image on photoshop. I firstly opened up my two images (the shoe, and landscape) on photoshop, I then cut out the shoe from the background using the quick selection tool, I then inverted this, and used the move tool to drag the image of the shoe onto the urban landscape. I then used cmd T to resize the image. After this I used then paint tool to colour the shoe darker, so it would fit in with the darker surroundings, I did this by lowering the opacity, and flow of the brush. Overall I do not like the final image as it looks tacky, I do not like the fourth plinth topic anyway, and would not wish to recreate it again. However, if i was to re-make this image I would ensure the image appeared more realistic overall. The only aspect I like of this image is that the shoe is slightly dirty, which adds to the urban feel of the image. 

This is the original landscape image. 

This is the original image of the shoe. 

I photographed this image on F 9 ,ISO 200 and shutter speed 1/125.

This image was made using the same method as the one above. I prefer this image to the one above as it blends in better overall. This represents the fourth plinth project well as you never see a giant shoe in a local park. If I was to make this image again I would attempt to place the shoe in the water, so it appears to be a boat; this would reflect the fourth plinth well as you never see giant floating shoes. If i was to remake this image i could use a different angle of the shoe, in order to make the image more interesting/make it fit better into the image as a whole.

The other images I photographed of the shoe: 

When we went to London I found many objects which complimented the 'fourth plinth' topic well.  They are shown in the following images below:

This object was outside Kensington Station, it represents the  fourth plinth well as you wouldn't usually see a giant bucket full of objects in a street. 

I photographed this image in Trafalgar Square, the lion is the focus of the fourth plinth here.

Again, this image is taken in Trafalgar Square and the lion represents the object for the fourth plinth here.

This object is the official 'fourth plinth' representation in Trafalgar Square, this changes ever few years, giving a variety of artist the chance to win this profound spot. 

This statue I believed could represent the fourth plinth as it's out of the ordinary and unique, it's not something you see everyday. 

This lion again represents the fourth plinth as it's out of the ordinary. I could edit this image and place another strange object over the top of the lion, creating my own fourth plinth image.
