Surrealism composition

Practical 2
In today's class, we were tasked with creating a surreal composition on Photoshop using a background and a subject. There wasn't much instruction and any tutorials, so we were pretty much left to ourselves to create whatever we wanted.

I decided to do something wacky, a dog in a biplane trying to escape from a giant cat over a sunny lagoon. The entire composition consisted of 4 images; the biplane, the dog, the cat and the background.

Figure 1. The doggo looks so happy.

I initially used a layer mask to remove parts of the images, applied them, then did some edge-tightening using Select --> Refine Edge. A bit of color touch-up using Match Color and the Dodge/Burn tool got the images to look like the belonged together. I then used Radial Blur to give the whole image a sense of motion, added a vignette using the Brush tool and used a postcard as a clipping mask to finish the whole thing off. I'm pretty happy with the final result.
