Mushroom dragon

This is my first try at photo manipulation. Well it is a little bit of photo manipulation with some digital art in between. The background photograph is what I took of a mushroom in our garden. Where the dragon consists of textured pieces from the mushroom and digital drawing as the rest.

Any comment on this would be appreciated, tips and ideas as well.

Hope you all like it, I was itching to do this for a while now and is quite happy with the results. :3
