Description
In my efforts to try out all genres of art, I have tried thinking 'out of the box' to create a surreal manipulation - it was difficult to know when to stop - there were so many more things that could have been added, but after a week of adding, removing and adding more I decided enough was enough

Whoa! This is wildly surreal!
There is so much happening in this scene I've been looking at it for two minutes now and I'm still finding things
Despite the various light sources, this looks awesome

Thanks Dan - after writing my article about surrealism I felt the need to try it out, but I didn't find it easy! Freeing up your mind to bring together things that don't go together is hard work
Anyway, I was generally pleased with the outcome, but don't think it's my genre!!

That's the difficulty with surrealism. I had this conversation with =thefantasim during one of the Challenges because we both had different opinion of what surreal meant (compared to 'Abstract').
I think of it this way: 'realism' is depicting something as realisticly and/or naturally as possible, even if that object is a machine, there are still certain 'natural' things about it, light lighting, shadows and gravity. 'Surreal' art, or 'sur-reality' is like an alternate reality. This 'other-reality' can be as distorted or imaginative as you like, but it still has rules - although, you are now able to bend those rules. You can choose to make the lighting different on each object, or choose to make objects float, but if you do - you must follow through with those rules.
I basically look at Salvidore Dali's work as a base. Dali created some of teh most surreal artworks to date, but his work was always in full-detail. If it was not detailed then it would be considered abstract. 
Then again....that's just my opinion
