The Wonders of Nature After Dark | LMAC Freestyle Collage - No. 23

For my Freestyle Collage No. 23, my theme is nature and how one perceives it in any natural setting. Not all thoughts are of bright colors and beautiful flowers on a sunny day. Appreciating your surroundings may involve only your senses and imagination of the possibilities that can occur. Darkness and the happenings in the forest at night. What wondrous sights and sounds you can encounter.

I'm a fan of the dark and dramatic. I'm pulled toward the happenings that others avoid. Questions that answers intrigue me.

To assist with my theme, I utilized the contest photo from Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 160 - ✨128 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

In preparing my dark scene, I enlisted the assistance of several unique images, some from free sources, others from my own creations for fractals, and an image I love from the LMAC LIL database by Hive account@digitalis whenever I need a speck of light color.

My primary scene was a little girl in a dark forest. She's unaware of any danger as she reads. She doesn't shrink back in fear while reading. She wants to gain knowledge. I wanted to incorporate her in the contest photo, so only used part of the image. To accomplish and other background removal processes, I uploaded all images into Canva. There, I can take advantage of the tools and processes, such as various filters to enhance my images per my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Below are the additional images I included to complete my theme:

• Deer in orange by CharlVera at Pixabay

• Woman's face in clouds at PxFuel

• Woman sitting with mushrooms at PxFuel

• Little Egret Contributed to the #LIL by @digitalis

• Fractal entitled "Disk Space in Orange" created by me in Apophysis

• Fractal entitled "Six Star Petal created by me in Apophysis

This is the final version:
