Artist Emulation

My first two pictures are supposed to emulate Andy Warhol. I made them both in black and white. I found a few pictures by him that had old cameras in them and since I didn't have any available, I used an old record player that my dad has. I wish that I had a better white so that there was more contrast but I couldnt move the record player to get to better light. My second picture is of my cousin. A lot of the pictures I found by Andy Warhol with people in them, the people were wearing sunglasses and they didn't have much of an expression. They had high contrast and I think I acheived the high contrast aspect with this picture.

My second two pictures were to emulate Eileen Cowin. A lot of her pictures were of people, but not their entire face or body. She picked one part of a person and focused on that. In my two pictures, that is what I tried to do.

Photo Montages

My first image has a beach or vacation theme. My background is the beaech, the trees and sky. I added the seagull, the sailboat, and the two people sitting in the sand. I used the clone stamp tool to make the sailboat look like it was actually submerged in the water. I got the shadows under the people using the shadow tool. I love taking vacations and relaxing on the beach so that is why I chose this theme.

Does this picture look like the items in it belong or do they look out of place?

My second picture has a Roman theme. The background or original image is the picture of the Colloseum. I added the flag and lowered the opacity on it. I also added the Pantheon and the vespa. In parts of the Pantheon I had to clear in between the columns so that it looked legitimate. I chose this theme because I really like to travel and I loved going to Rome. The Colloseum was my favorite part.

Which of my pictures works better?
