I started this collage with pumpkins in my mind. At first, thanks to for the main photo and LMAC community for the Halloween Collage Contest.
For the rest of the collage elements, I cut out pumpkins and devil from my older photos and put the collage together in Photoshop.
My photos from which I cut out the other elements are below:

Well, I went even further, my ambition was to make a cinemagraph, itβs actually a gif animation from a static photo. I used PhotoMirage to animate the photo.

And the final result is here.
I have to admit Iβm not the most satisfied. Namely, this graphic format, gif, has some limitations, the worst is that it has only 256 colors, which is not enough for a good and smooth display, then the animation is made of static images which abnormally enlarges the final file so I was forced to crop and reduce the size and number of frames and still the file size is almost 4 Mb, which is too much for the image.
A short video in higher resolution is a significantly smaller file but then it's no longer a picture :)
But, in a competition it doesn't count, only creativity is important. π
I will definitely be making collages anyway :) π π»
