Reflection
To be honest this assignment itself was rushing process as the particular week having more deadlines, but overall I am satisfied with the outcome. Most importantly I start to realize the power layer masks hold. With layer mask and brushes, they are the key to make double exposure and even surrealism happen. I particularly learnt to use my imagination when it comes to using my own portrait as I was clueless on which picture to use and also how to arrange the flowers. At the end I followed my intuition and come up with the blended flower with portrait, it represents me too as I like flowers😆
