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.

I enjoy the overall look of your pieces, they almost have a miniature model feel to them which is interesting to me.
Cool. Well, as a stand alone piece, i don't think its working. You have the train tracks which are a huge directional that leads the eye to no where. However, i feel like you really have something going on with the cracked earth. that would be a great directional into the next piece.
Warm. Its very soft and welcoming, however, I'm not feeling the contrast level that you are working with. Bump it up in the foreground so i can interact with the interesting brush/leaf texture. Additionally, the atmospheric feel is good and a necessity. BUT, you should transition into it more. There is a clear line from which the blur has begun, it splits your composition.
Transition. I feel your pain for the loss. However, it doesn't mean you still can't have fun with it. I like the ideas that you have to work with. Be sure your working with the other two prices on either side, it will make it a stronger piece.
