Dyptics crack/back photos 1

Here i was experimenting with the idea of multiple images and dyptics, in my notebook i have worked out the size of the 'canvus' to have two images side by side. I wanted to try them side by side, in a difference of mannors to experiment with the look of the images and the impact it has on its presentation. 

Heres a screenshot of how i created the structure of the dyptics using guides and rulers to measure out the different sections.  i thought i would include this as im not really used to creating multiple images and grids. its not something ive done alot of in the past. I also made sure that the left section fitted with the left shoe image and the right with the right shoe image as it were.

The first one i did i created using an equal boarder around each of the sides of the images. it created a very uniformed structure and looked very  well uniformed.  I also used images that are very similar types of pavement to create a look as if the image fits together. It almost looke like one image continued over two canves as it were.  This looks very straight forward and very well selected.
The second trial of the dyptics i did i used the same sized boarder around the edges but tripled the space in the middle to which is gives more space between the images. While this may work with other images, the idea that it almost sepourates the two images more, with a bigger distance, unlike the first you dont really get the idea that the  image is one split over two, and while that maybe good for other dyptics, i dont really think it gels as well as the previous image. Again here i use two images taken on the same surface which seems to fit so well.

This dyptic, i went back to the original use of the central partition and experimented adding a segment at the bottom, for if i wanted to add text or to give it a more polaroid theme. while i am still uncertain whether or not i want to experiement with the idea of using text in my work so far but may look into this later. i do like the idea, even if its just for a small experiment, and the space at the bottom is perfect for adding text, either typed or hand written.
The final images is going back to the original equal surround set up, however here i decided to try two images that the flooring dont really match to create a more jarring match.While this gives a different look and feel to the images compaired to the similar pairings of the other dypts however i actually like the look as it makes the images look more fractured and focuses more in on the lines in the images and the effects they create, i expesh like the contrast in this one between the single line in the left image to the over complicated patterns created by the lines in the right image.
