However, I've been also taking a digital media class, which requires us to use photoshop. Our first project was a self portrait, which wasn't any thing unusual for me. However, our second was a surreal landscape, which didn't need to mean actual nature.
This is how mine looked durng the mid-critique.

I'll probably edit it a bit more, but this is the basic idea. I never really used photoshop for more than basic photo editing, i.e. color balance, so this is something I am experimenting with - actually manipulation of photographs.
