For picture #1, i removed a lot of the extra food near the edge of the plate that was dirtying up the plate, i also dodged the entire photograph to make it brighter and i blurred most of it to make the food the focus.

For picture # 2 i Blurred most of the picture because the food was not the focus and it i dodged the food just a bit to make it a tad bit brighter.

For picture #3 i had to dodge and blur almost all of the picture in order to make it clear that the food was the focus of the picture, because without it the picture was just a mess.

What is surrealism in my words?

Surrealism is making things abnormal and unreal, while keeping the realistic look and feel.
