This was a large step outside my comfort zone. However, it was fun to do!

6 years ago, I was walking in the woods and I found a large red mushroom. The light was dull, but I took a snap. I have always wanted to do something with that pic, but at the time I never put much thought into shooting it! Now seemed the perfect opportunity to use it. 

I shot my model, Sarah, swinging off my whirlygig (it was an overcast evening, similar light situation to the mushroom) and I went into the local woods to capture a better background. The original mushroom's background was a bit boring for my liking!

Cutting Sarah out of the background was a painstaking process. As was getting her to look like she was natural to the scene! I think I failed here, unless that's the uncanny valley doing its thing. Like I said though, it was fun to do!
