For my Freestyle Collage No. 47, my theme is "Beauty in the Wilderness." I wanted to approach a collage with the idea of the environment. In order to protect our environment for humans, animals, and nature to thrive in its settings, we must do more to ensure that steps are taken.
I want to share a collage that depicts hope of what could be.
To depict my vision of a beautiful environment, I wanted to show the contrast of harsh versus lush scene.
I started with two of the LMAC's previous contest images that displays awesome landscapes, one water, the other nature.
For the elements I included in the scene, I envisioned harsh and lush images. I located several from free sources, but ultimately chose the ones I list here that were perfect to contrast each other.
Other images I felt could complete the scene I located at the LMAC Image Database, the LIL. Separating the deer from the landscape only made sense as I wanted to use the landscape as the background, while using the animal in the foreground.
Also, two of my own personal pure fractals I felt would add color to the scene.

To blend the elements, I uploaded all into Canva,my design program. I like to utilize all the pro features, such as colorizing, background removal, and filters.
