Really great textures in the wood to the right, with stunning colors on the metal to the left. Works well together :) Very nice.

Great duoshot DJ, the colors are so vibrant especially the blue of the sky and the trucks and the texture of the wood and composition is beautiful!

What a wonderful pair of images...apart they stand well on their own, but together they are an amazing compliment to one and other in opposite colours and texture. I really like this one a lot!

i thought it was a dead truck behind a barn door at first... but it's TWO beeeeeaaaauuuuutiful images... tho the no headlights on the truck is a bit disturbing at the risk of anthropomorphizing lol WELL DONE YOU!!

Nice duet : the left one is very interesting because of the blue tones, and the right one : yum ! What an interesting wood texture.

What an interesting post. I love the wood grain and lines on the right, and the trucks are well framed.

I like how these two images tell different chapters in the same story of a harsh environment : neat pairing.

Two opposite things goes so well together. Good color combination too! Good combo shot.

The blue truck matches with the blue sky and the blue-toned mountains too! It's getting colder and colder on the left!
Texture on the right is just brilliant!
Great capture! :)

a very nice contrasting between the trucks for transporting and the wood which is passenger! I like the textures very much

MaryP from Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom
Nice blue colour of the truck, but for me i love the wood, if it is wood?? I'm trying to figure out the cheveron pattern. Both sides of the 'V' are identical. Can you get wood to do this, or is it from a reflection or a mold (plastic)??
20 Nov 2008 4:15pm
@MaryP: Thanks Mary! I just used photoshop to 'mirror' the original! (by flipping horizontal). Been flexing my menu experimentation in CS3... worked like a charm! :D
grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Wonderful weathered wood. A mirror image perhaps Mary.
20 Nov 2008 4:21pm
@grouser: yes! a mirrored image!! ;) i liked the idea of chevrons!!! more dynamic! cheers mate!
Pradeep from Chennai, India
The title really puts them together. Nice colors and textures. BTW, is that a reflection of wood or PPd? :)

20 Nov 2008 5:18pm
@Giovanni: Cheers Giovanni! Thanks very much! Something a bit different for me...! :)

what a brilliant diptych, such a creative idea and so well done, the detail and texture in the wood is superb
20 Nov 2008 11:38pm
@JJ: cheers mate -- have so many pictures from my trip -- trying to find interesting ways to showcase them!!
Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan
Great vivid and strong colours; sharp and crisp shots.

willow from Chelsea, United States
Really interesting combo - the textures and the colors are perfect in contrast to each other.

Jeffster from Long Island, United States
Very interesting combination dj. It takes a very "knowing eye" to pre-visualize that these 2 distinct elements would work so well together. Either that - or you were just lucky! Best regards...
20 Nov 2008 11:57pm
@Jeffster: thanks Jeff!! well, i must admit, i was just 'foolin' around -- so i guess i can fairly state that: 'lady luck is a friend of mine'... :) but that is what i love about getting home after work... i head to my bedroom (aka studio) and muck around with photos and photoshop looking for new ways of presenting images. i knew i wanted the shot of the trucks to be used in a diptych -- and somehow in the process, the wooden textures identified themselves as the perfect opposing subjects... thanks for the compliment -- truthfully i wasn't so sure about the combination -- but it has certainly grown on me!! cheers to you!! :)
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Nice association in this dyptich. We can find the V graphisme of the right picture on the truck. Also the orange and blue combination is very good.

DarkElf from Perth, Australia
interesting idea DJ - quite a contrast but this shot is right on the money... quite a number of factors contribute to the fabric that makes up Alaska or indeed the entire planet...
