Sorry, author, but... where's the original source you were supposed to manipulate? In other words, the matryoshkas photo?

Thanks for the reminder, I have included dolls in the dishes to please the purists. but it is obvious that the girls are in the clothes of the dolls, and the same positions as the original photo. This is a "conceptual manipulation" in artistic point of view. the dolls are manipulations of the image of the girls themselves, I did a deconstruction of representation.

Nicely put together, masking looks nice too. Maaaaybe I'd swapped the samourai with that torii object and make the samurai bigger (and then that the sun goes through the torii holes), on the other hand then you'd cover the clouds and that would be a pity too. Overall well done! Good luck!

I thank God I could know those places (Mt. Fuji - I climbed it as far as point 8, and Itsukushima, an island of Hiroshima city)!... Those places and things depict Japan very perfectly! GL, author...
