For my composite image, I added a seal who got washed up to shore. As you can see, the seal kind of looks like it was in a deep slumber and seems to be in a daze sort of. He looks to be unsure of his new environment and confused on how he went from sleeping to now being on the beach.

For my abstract composition, I decided to highlight the four major holidays of each season by using the colors one usually associates with said holiday. Red and Blue for the Fourth of July which is a major holiday in Summer. Black and Orange for Halloween in the Fall. Red and Green for Christmas in the winter and a pastel green and purple for Easter in the spring. I mostly played around with the shape tool and utilized a lot of rectangles and circles. I also played around with color to make my image pop.
