Hello everyone and welcome back to my participation in this week's Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC") for Round 99. Another awesome landscape image to work with in creating our collages. I love landscape images as I can explore opposite images to pair it with creating an unusual collage.
Often my collages depict different scenes in each section. This week, I wanted to pair the grassy landscape with a watery view. As long as the collage shows my feelings about a particular landscape, then I'm happy with my overall result. It's all about perspectives.
To create the setting, I began with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 99 - ✨230 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

Before I start my collage, I try to locate a suitable background image that complements my theme. Changing the landscape from light to dark would give it the night, watery scene.
The scene I chose was a fantasy balcony set upon a dark, watery background in which an artist attempts to find inspiration in the far away landscape.

To create the collage, I uploaded into Canva both the contest photo, the background image, and other images that would complete the theme.
Next, I used all the tools available in my Canva Annual Pro Membership Subscription to remove backgrounds from images and add filters. Below are the following images I utilized in my theme:
COLLAGE #2: A Boy's Prayer"
In my second collage, my theme was a young boy playing outside his farm. He's fantasizing and praying for rain for his family's crops. I was able to locate a nice magical background for the setting.
Below are the images I utilized for this collage:
i) Dog Contributed to the #LIL by @eve66
ii) Fantasy book waterfall at PxFuel
iii) Boy searching the moon at PxFuel
iv) Digital tie Fractal by me in Apophysis 2.09
Thanks for visiting my collages. I hope you like them.
