For my Freestyle Collage No. 58, my theme is illuminating the night. Travelers set out on a journey into the vastness of the sea beyond the city. Turbulent weather was predicted as they readied their crafts. From the edge of the city, they waited for the Night Life to appear on the horizon. Illuminating the skyline, she promises to guide them to safety on their journey.
To assist my theme, I utilized a previous LMAC contest Round 185 landscape image that contained building. This complemented my scene for the female that would rest behind the city.
The other landscape image was a dramatic night view of a cemetery.
The two pure fractals I created in Apophysis 7X, the advanced fractal rendering program, fit perfectly in my scene. The honeycomb fractal supported the buildings by adding texture to the frames. The veil adorned the skyline, adding fog to it that required illumination.
Below are the additional images I included in the water landscape to complete my theme:

To complete my collage theme, I uploaded all images into Canva to take advantage of my upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription. Below are my procedures from left to right:
Began with a blank, white canvas.
Duplicated cemetery to fill bottom half of canvas as landscape.
Removed background of female; resized, and duplicated to fill in canvas.
Added birds in sky band water; hands; fish.
Added fishermen to squid. Removed background, resized. Completed project.
Switched black canvas. Added cemetery.
Added female holding lamps to light up the skyline.
Added buildings. Duplicated to fill canvas. Added honeycomb fractal to buildings.
Added colorful squid.
Add a fog veil fractal for texture in skyline to show the need for illumination.
