Week 3 of on-line class

I'm really not sure if I'm getting this or not.  Here is the one I did today.  I may try to do another.  This one was not fast... couldn't seem to get a fast one going.   I played mostly with lines and shapes.

Tweaked - put a line across the top.  Not sure I like it any better:

 When I came back to the collage to take photos, I had to laugh.  I've been having such strange dreams this week.  The last dream I remember I was watching myself and my mother, when an alien came up and attacked me - eating my arm.  To me, this composition looks like it could be alien.  I better watch my back. 

First week's work - finished composition on top; image I worked from is on the bottom:

fyi... The picture below is the magazine photo that I cropped from, giving me the abstract image to work with.
