For my "surreal landscape" assignment in digital photo. We had to combine 5 images into one "montage". My photo teacher didn't particularly like it because he doesn't like subtlety, he prefers images that are bold and from his comments during critique today, obviously photoshopped (not badly photoshopped, just obviously). I like it the way it is. What do you think? I'm looking for honest, critical feedback here. Be as brutal as necessary Fotonomy peoples. :)
The colors look slightly different than they did when it was a PSD, or maybe it's just my computer's moniter rendering colors differently than the school's computers.

Reclining figure incorperated more into moutains.....We all see a different way we'd do it but that is human nature all in all I'd say it works just fine.... |

and thanks. your opinion is only one, but i think every opinion is just as valid as the next. the "experts" have their preconceived notions of what photos should look like as well, even if the majority of photography doesn't fit that. actually i think the "experts" have more opinions and try harder to make images conform to that set of ideas.... |

i might want to play around with it some more if i'm not too frustrated with photoshop by the time i'm done with this class. |

In the sky, but it shows great imagination, I think it's great work, but who am I??????????
