Image created from class assignment

The class assignment was to use textures and blending modes.
The first two images are the starting images:

This was a picture I took of a tomato out of our garden that had been sliced. I took the picture because it seemed to create an expression with eyes and mouth


The second starting image was just a free image online. I wanted to combine these two images having the tomato slice being eaten and having a little fun with it: Here is the link to this online image:

Here is the final image. Cropping, angling the tomato with ACR, and filters (e.g. chrome filter), Liquefy on the teeth, adjustment Layers and Blends.
A bit of dark comendy theme.



Mostly for you enjoyment yet always open for constructive feedback as well.

John,
I like the whole effect. Great job on the teeth.

Personally, I think such a spooky image needs some shadows on the top and bottom of the tomato, to help sell the idea that it's inside the mouth. Maybe something like this.

Just a suggestion.

That's great @Rich54. Excellent suggestion!
