Creating a photomontage

Whenever I have a chance I like to experiment with photomontages. Once in a while an exhibition comes up and then I have a few new pieces to consider for entries.


Here is a photo of the entrance to Gloria's home. It's an interesting house that's almost 100 years old and I have taken photographs of several different areas to consider for future photomontages.


First I straightened the photo and then cropped it.


I found a photo taken in Mexico of a Rum Punch which I outlined in Photoshop Elements, taking out the background.


Then I positioned the photo over the entry way, creating a weird scene. Anything goes when you are creating photomontages, just have fun and let you imagination run wild. The wilder, the better !


I had another idea and found this photo of 16 red balls that I had used previously on another photomontages.


I resized the red ball pix and positioned it over the entry way photo, creating another interesting image.


To make it more interesting I changed the position of a couple of the balls. The ball is one of my cats favorite toys and I've used it in many of my photomontages.
