The author created a surrealist image by combining two photos to place facial features on a bridge, inspired by stories of trolls living under bridges. They centered the bridge for depth and contrasted its straight lines with the busy background. Black and white tone added severity and realism while evoking something slightly evil. Famous surrealist Jerry Uelsmann similarly combines images, placing lips on a forest path to imply something is watching. Both use facial features in the landscape to suggest fantasy characters and black and white tones suit the surreal and eerie feelings. The author prefers Uelsmann's technique of adding depth and shadows to the lips for more contrast with the background.
