I'm back for another round of participation in Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). My theme for this week is The Watcher From Beyond. Given a lovely scene with a bridge, I decided to make use of it to transport beings to the after world.
To create the setting, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 127 - ✨185 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

My primary focus to complete my theme was on the bridge in the contest photo. As a gateway to another time and place, I was sure to keep the original design so the bridge could be detected in the background.
A mysterious world awaits while beings sit contemplating their next move. Whether to enter or not is their dilemma. One fell asleep while the other is i holding his head in despair. The all-watchful eye is waiting. What fate lies ahead for both? Only the Watcher From Beyond knows!
To compile and blend the images, I uploaded all into Canva, including the contest photo.
Utilizing my Annual Pro Membership Subscription, I was able to blend all elements to create a portal. I located a suitable free background photo. @eve66's unique and mysterious tree provided the portal.
