Doel is a small village near Antwerp, Belgium. Due to the future expansion of the Antwerp harbour, it is doomed to disappear: there are plans to cover Doel with 20 feet of mud. In this diptych I wanted to set the march of civilization against the decline of the village.
Hi Hermen, I like the combination of the two shots; the colourful one being completely different but bearing the same atmosphere. Choosing the top one as "peripheral" (and a great shot; quite a luxury...;)) thus focussing the attention on the peeling paint is a very good and strong touch. Very nice work.
With a tad more contrast, the top one would do great as a stand alone, too. Really like what you done here. Not the most obvious choice, but IMO definately the right one.
