Transition Step (UNFINISHED)

Here is my redone Transition step so far, to give you an idea of what direction I was going in and progress.

Triptych

Here is the "Mechanical" and "Natural" Steps of my Triptych, though I'm upset to admit I would have all three steps to post had I backed up my files. The Transition step was finished two days ago, but earlier I opened it in Photoshop to change the file to a Jpeg, along with the mechanical phase, and somehow ended up saving the mechanical step over the transition step. Once I realized what had happened it was too late and I was ofcourse very very angry with myself for not creating a backup file or at least posting it on here sooner. Hours of work gone in a second. So now I'm working on doing it over, but ofcourse I can't recreate exactly what I did before and to me what is recreated so far doesn't look nearly as good as the original. I'd have to say I'm most bitter about the fact that I spent the longest period of time on that step, out of the three. I'm not making excuses though, it was my own fault. I am currently working on the transition step, and hope to have it finished and submitted by Wednesday afternoon. Until then, I will post what I have so far before class.

About the pieces, on the "Mechanical" step I was going for a cold, lifeless, desolate feel, which is why I chose the bluish tint. And ofcourse the "Natural" step was the opposite, so I was trying to convey life and warmth. They're both pretty spacious on purpose, because I didn't want to crowd either of them. The transition piece was done the same way.
