Photomontage attempt

I am really unhappy with this as it is not what I set out to do. I found it a lot harder than I anticipated to make a Photomontage with real meaning. This is simply 4 images combined, with the background being an optical illusion taken from a book. I liked using the stamp filter and the effect it gives though I found it hard to match colours correctly. My first attempt is random. In the near future I will upload another Photomontage that i have been working on that conveys a meaning specific to me and changing landscapes.
