My art teacher said that the artwork you generate from photographs has to be 2/3 yours. It sounds okay for you because the way you described your manipulation seems like it is significant enough. If the medium/technique is drastically different, that’s good. When you say that you moved things around, it’s probably enough.

This has become a real problem for AP Art people and I heard that the College Board is cracking down on it more, but you seem fine. best of luck.
