On this piece my inspiration was to create a surreal feeling. The lady in this image is supposed to be dead and she is still holding onto a piece of her life when she was alive, hence the lively green leaves in her hand. While the yellow leaves around the frame stand for her dying and withering away. To create this photo I first used an image I had of clouds and I turned up the contrast then mirrored the imaged, that is what i used as my back round. I then cut out the wings and pasted them to the back round, then used the blurring tool to make the wings blend into the sky more. After I cut out the woman and pasted her, fitting her to the wings. I cut out the "May Cause Drowsiness Or Dizziness" and pasted it over her eyes. I then cut and pasted the leaves and fit them appropriately around the image making it a frame. I used the each leaf more than once, rotating it or flipping it upside down to make them look different. for the last touch i put the green leaves in her hand. I really enjoyed doing this piece, it made me like photoshop more.
