The thing I like most about these images is the use of the photo to illustrate indirectly the mood the words convey. The words in this image relate to the photo in that the dam is broken, but not completely. It is a defence against the forces of nature, and the majority of it is still holding on, and being strong. It has a weakness, but not one so great as to take down the whole structure. This is the main strong point of the whole image, the relation between the words and the original photograph.
The thing that can be improved is the flow of the words into the photo. They do not blend well and in the black and white version, they actually stand out more than a pleasurable amount. In one of the pictures, the words blend into the river but I do not like the way that they wrap around the riverbank. It doesn't look as good as I want it to look. However, there is always room for improvement, and if given more time, I would likely be able to create this image in the way that I would think best.
In my opinion, the fill bucket picture that I did looks the best because I love bright colours and high contrast pictures. The colours are absolutely ludicrous, and that is what I love about it. The text looks like it is graffitied on the dam, making it look natural in the image. The only bad thing about it is the amount of distortion on the word "hold."
