Surrealism

          For the surrealism project, I chose to do something that represented two opposites - the land and the sea.  I also added a girl who's face is detached because it looks like she's in a sort of dream scape, and she represents the harmony between the sea and land (hence why the sky is calm even though the water is raging and the desert is shadowed in darkness).  I used the magnetic lasso tool to crop out the sky from each of the images, which I later replaced with a gradient.  The girls hair looked very photoshopped after I removed the background, so I used the paint tool, burn tool, and smudge tool to fix all the ends and the coloring.  The original image of the desert had 'moving' rocks, so I used the clone stamp tool to get rid of those so the image didn't look odd.  If I were to change anything, I would have dome what I originally planned.  I was originally going to have the part of the mountain on the right and the sea on the left come up to meld into swirling clouds encompassing the sun and the moon respectively, but was unable to do so due to time issues.
