I wanted to share with you my Freestyle Collage No. 97 with the theme "alone and isolated". I share this in accordance with the LMAC Community guidelines.
The LMAC Community run by holds a weekly collage contest for its members. In the Community, you'll discover a variety of themed entries submitted for consideration.

All the animals came to witness his arrival. They'd been waiting for a shepherd. The birds announced his arrival. No longer would they wander the lands in isolation, but now be together as a herd. He guided them to a lush pasture with the aid of the woman in the tree trunk.
She'd been his protector as he searched for his herd.
In preparing my theme, I utilized the LMAC Rounds 213 contest image featuring cows in a pasture and another LMAC contest image as an additional landscape, so I chose Round 212 image. I knew I wanted a forest scene, so I discovered an unusual image in which a female's head is embedded in a tree's roots. Below are the images I included to complete my theme. One of them is a beautiful pure fractal I created in Apophysis 7X. I used it to surround the female's head.

I then utilize Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
