🐾 Bonzer's Heaven 🐾 - Let's Make a Collage - Entry for Round 122

The last time I participated in the LMAC contest was round 37. Since then a lot of time has passed, and a lot has changed in the world and on the Internet. So I was especially happy that when I returned to the Hive Community, the first thing I found was @shaka's LMAC Contest. If you want to participate too, you can find all the required information in the LMAC Round 122 post.

This is my final collage for round 122:

About this collage

Since one of my two dogs (Bonzer) died of cancer in January 2022, I would like to dedicate a little piece of heaven to him with this collage. I think he would like it because here everything has gathered in which he had fun in his life. Well, not really anything he liked (I couldn't find a suitable way to include food and snow), but otherwise there's quite a bit to find in the picture. 😉

✨ I hope that Bonzer has found his peace and a new home in a cozy place like this. ✨

The whole thing has become a hidden object search, as some of the elements are quite small to keep the proportions somewhat related. To discover them all use the original sized image.

Special thanks go to @anibal-aa for the rainbow available in the #LIL. This rainbow has saved me some headaches. 😘

If you are interested, here are some nerdy details about the collage

• In total, I needed about eight hours for the creation. You can tell that I'm not a graphics professional, but I learned a lot about fur masking in Photoshop.
• In the collage, 16 images were used, 25 layer masks, and some (many) effects for color adjustments, shading, and a reasonably realistic look.
• It took four iterations until I was finally satisfied with the overall look (which changed sometimes drastically between the iterations).
• The final PSD file has a whopping 475MB
