Edited photograph showing a range of skills and photomontage

I took the original photograph in Africa. I turned the photograph into a negative and selected the road. I colourized the road and tree with a red tone. I then selected certain aspects of the image such as the different mountains and changed the darkness of the mountains. I then decided that I would darken the sky and colourize it so it look dull and grey. I then went onto google and thought about the concept of a sun coming up in the background. I expanded this idea and thought about a Japanese type sun because its quite stylized and I think quite interesting. I copyed this in and put it onto a new layer behind the mountains. I then made the rays longer so they reached the edges of the photograph. I thought this was quite an interesting affect because it mixes a more realistic idea with a cartoon like aspect too it.

I researched Salvador Dalí, Man Ray and David Hockney who are three of the most famous photo montage artists. Man Ray one of the most famous photographers of the 1930s and 1940s.
