Oh it's so cute

Maybe you were thinking about Texas and the hurrican Ike? Maybe a few cactus sticking out of the water would give it a more surreal look

Hmm, cacti...that's an interesting idea. I was actually thinking of tsunami training stuff that goes on here on the Oregon Coast

That would be a good idea too

Other than having perspective issues with all the different photos, it's relatively well done.

I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve my work. I don't necessarily implement them immediately into the suggested piece (I'm lazy that way, lol), but I always take that advice and use it when applicable in later pieces. The perspective is intentionally a little off to add to the surreality, but is there some part in particular that seems off to you? I would love to have your input.

The checkerboard floor gives it away (conflicting perspectives) Maybe have some photos have the matching perspective to fit it all together. You said your intent was to help with the surreal effect, so maybe it doesn't need any work

Actually, do you think it's the ivy on the ground instead of the checkerboard floor? I did try to get the floor to match up with the water and thought I'd done ok with that, but I wasn't too happy with the ivy. I was tired of trying to find stock, so instead of looking for ivy with the same perspective, I created my own and tried to give it the proper perspective. I don't think it worked too well though

no you matched to ivy to the floor. I don't see that as a problem. The angle of the photo of the girl and puppy is off kilter in comparison. It appears the girl photo was taken at almost eye level, but the floor was taken looking down. I think that is what does it.

Hmm...I think I kind of see what you're talking about. The way I see it when I look at it though makes sense in my head (except for the darn ivy, lol). Maybe my perspective is just off kilter

Just trying to help. It's still a very well put together piece.

I really appreciate it. I don't run across too many people who are willing or able to offer suggestions, so it's refreshing to hear what others think about my work and how I can improve it.

You are welcome, I am glad you didn't take offense, most people get mean about it.
