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@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@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
