I was trying to do a surreal picture... Then I could experiment with post processing... I like the picture very much (but I do think it may be a little over sharpened for a "dream" I dont care..)

I was thinking about some of those stories where the person fall asleep in a couch and wakes in a dream, dressed diferently and in diferent place... I know I can`t explain the whole concept with the title... But is one of my experiments and wanna know how it comes out...

YEYYYYYY!!!! :D I am very happy :D

There is so much that competes within this image - I don't know where to look first. The only grounded element is the back of the model - which offers no disorder.
