I chose this photo, by Erik Johansson, as my example of surrealism. Obviously, it is such because a house could not be built on top of a giant fish, but this picture makes it look like it could be. I find it interesting because the merging of the fish and the island is expertly done, as is how the fish is put into the water. I also like how the surface of the water and the horizon beyond are dealt with, and the little boat in the lake.
I have a similar idea for one of my pictures, but in place of a fish is a cloud, it takes place in the sky, and instead of tapering into a house the cloud tapers into a snow-capped mountain.
