Social Issue: "Paradise leads to my death"


In the picture I took of my social issue there is a two way meaning. I decided to put sort of like a desert with footsteps describing or meaning there are many death in the desert. I was looking for dark colors to represent the footsteps and with the red over them represents that they are sort of the emphasis.
This picture is about immigration and its death. Many people have crossed the desert looking for the paradise they once heard in a beautiful city and they want to get that far. Unfortunatley
those people have not made their wish. This would affect me in different ways. I have meet friends that have family that have died in the desert. This issue means alot to me because my dad had crossed through the desert a couple of times and he could of been one of those people that couldn't made their wish come true.

I love the concept of your picture. The footprints in the sand and your statement. I think that the problem in the composition is that the 2 pictures merge without any border or buffer, so the cactus gets cut off by sand for no apparent reason. I think perhaps you could have just used the sandy footsteps for the whole image, or put a strong border around each image so they had strong edges. Overall good job, good strong statement.
