For this project, we looked at surreal paintings and what surrealism was and tried to create our own surreal photographs using multiple images we had taken.

For this picture I began with the background which is an image of bristly brushes in front of a forest. I then added the girl, and changed her to black and white to make her seem ghostly. Next, to create the tire swing/mountain part of the picture I edited in the swing and I made the edges of the tire kind of sketchy on purpose to make it seem less solid and real. Then, I used an elliptical marquee to make the mountain circular and move it into the rope swing. Finally to try to unify the image I put a texture over all the images I'd put in and added a gradient. 

Overall, I did a fair bit less with this image than with the previous one. I took the background of the flowers and got several images I had of the girl, edited everything away from her body so it was just her. I made her much smaller than the flowers and placed her all around the top of the roses. In order to unify the image, I added a texture over all the pictures.
