In order to create a 4th plinth image, I decided to photograph an image of my shoe. This specific shoe was big and hefty giving it a better robust look. MY other image is a photograph I took of back alley on an abandoned building. The two do not fit in with each other because most people would question why a random shoe was there, however, it also goes because you would expect to see someone wearing shoes, especially in that environment.
I used a quick selection tool to cut the background out of the boot. I needed to do this otherwise the beige background will be on the image of the alley. I found it rather difficult as I had lots of curves and little ins and outs, I had to mask it and paint in reed on the section I did not want, I also had to use the magic wand to get into grooves and corners. I also added new layers
This is my final image. I think it looks okay. I defiantly think it could have gone better. Next time I would like to try and create it reversed. To put the landscape into the shoe instead. Overall I am happy with my result as a first time try.
