Fish skulls

These photos were taken at home, on top of a clear acrylic box, as I wanted to see what kind of effect it would give the photos. All in all, I am pleased with the results. 

With the image below, I like the way that I've laid it out quite neat and tidy, and the way the fish are positioned quite orderly to kick. The images could represent young and old, and the history of the two fishes. For example, the one on the left is dirty and broken, did it lose its parts due to an attack or just due to age and rot? It gives the fish an ancient feel, like its an old one. The other fish however, looks younger, brighter, with the orange tint and more of itself in tact. The images could be a way to represent generations and aging. It could also represent how different we all are and what kind of histories we've been through.
I also really like the way that the skulls stand out against the background, especially the orange one. The entire image almost looks grey scale like its intended for that skull to stand out, which gives the images some visual appeal. Despite the orange skull, the picture still looks very dull and cold, as it isnt an intense orange, and I really like that. The opposing colours could also represent conflict.



I really like the way these two photos show off the skulls from different angles, and the depth of field is really well done. I like how it almost shows how different each one looks from each different angles, and they both fill up eachothers backgrounds nicely. Theyre out of focus enough to not catch the attention but at the same time its still obvious what they are.
