The challenge is to extract elements from two or more of the provided images, your own images or images freely supplied by others then recombine them in a surreal montage. The result should be an image that is ambiguous in interpretation or showing an ambiguous space or both. All provided images are my own photos, free for use by CreativeMatrix members.

Choose the elements before deciding on a composition. Loosely relate the elements when you begin to compose them. Allow yourself to take things out as well as put them in. Modify and distort the elements if you feel like doing so. Use the same element in more than one place, or more than one way. Play with the elements and the composition until you tire of it. Go away and come back with new vision. When it feels right, stop.
