Yeehaaa, this is amazing! A very beautyful photography. Very inspiring.
I can see it clearly... A happy little accident here, a happy little thing there, mixing up a little more shadow color here, then a little shadow right in there...

By the way, a quote from Bob Ross as motivation for all the creatives here and especially the ones who do not believe being able to create a suitable contest entry:

“This is your world
You’re the creator
Find freedom on this canvas
Believe, that you can do it,
‘Cuz you can do it.
You can do it.”
― Bob Ross
