Explorations in Photoshop

The above images are what i used to create the collage below. We've learned several selection tools and photomerging techniques the past two weeks and with careful editing you can create smoother compositions that create an abstract feeling.

The image below is created by five images, a snowflake, a theme park, a ceiling, and a cathedral. I used these images to create a collage that fulfills the meaning behind the words ornate and metallic. Did i succeed?
