My first project in Photoshop involved inserting a snowman into a desert landscape. I came up with the idea by thinking of two things that were opposites and trying to put them together. It was difficult to cut the snowman out and insert just the snowman into the desert. I found that pictures with a white background are easier to cut and insert into another picture.
I find it interesting to put pictures together that don't make sense - like snow in the desert, or a cactus at the North Pole. The problem for me is that it proves difficult to make it look real - partly because it is so unreal, but also because making the inserted object blend properly has been complicated. I also enjoy trying to insert people into group pictures where they were not there before. That is what I will try to do for my second project.

I will try your comment about white backgrounds. For my last images I was using backgrounds of oranges, very dark, and multicolor. I liked the idea of using a dark or black and white background and then inserting color for each item and then changing the opacity to produce a blending effect.
