For my Freestyle Collage No. 52, my theme is security. The title of my theme is "In the Palm of His Hands." In choosing this theme, I wanted to reflect on the benevolence in the world; the people who make it a better place by serving both humanity and the environment.
Expecting society to rejoice over evildoing and hubris is shortsighted. For those who give their time, resources, knowledge, and advice, this freestyle is for you. Just for helping the world strive, hopefully, in its conviction to overcome all obstacles holding society back from fulfilling its greatness.
I think of the recent natural disasters, hurricanes typhoons, and earthquakes that claimed numerous lives into the thousands. Then I remember those who willingly placed their own lives in danger. Not to be unmentioned is the U.S.'s remembrance of September 11, 2001.
I share with you my freestyle collage.

In preparing my theme, my focus was on the hand and the bouquet it was holding. Since the flower bouquet would be busy with numerous fractals, I decided on a clean and smooth background at the top, with a water landscape calm image at the bottom. Four background images helped to create this calm. The aurora image dark blue with the water feature I thought would be awesome as the landscape.

To add texture to my background with the assortment of flowers, I utilized several pure fractals I created in Apophysis 7X, an advanced fractal rendering program. They created a lovely bouquet that I placed in the hands.
I also added several free-sourced images from the LMAC's database, the LIL. Thanks to all contributing members.

! [In The Palm of His Hands Spanish Translation]
En la palma de sus manos
Pour mon collage Freestyle n° 52, mon thème est la sécurité. Le titre de mon thème est "Dans la paume de ses mains". En choisissant ce thème, j'ai voulu réfléchir à la bienveillance dans le monde, aux personnes qui le rendent meilleur en servant à la fois l'humanité et l'environnement.
Attendre de la société qu'elle se réjouisse de la malfaisance et de l'orgueil démesuré est un manque de vision. Pour ceux qui donnent leur temps, leurs ressources, leurs connaissances et leurs conseils, ce freestyle est pour vous. Juste pour aider le monde à s'efforcer, espérons-le, dans sa conviction de surmonter tous les obstacles qui empêchent la société de réaliser sa grandeur.
Je pense aux récentes catastrophes naturelles, aux ouragans, aux typhons et aux tremblements de terre qui ont fait des milliers de victimes. Je me souviens ensuite de ceux qui ont volontairement mis leur vie en danger. Il ne faut pas oublier la commémoration du 11 septembre 2001 aux États-Unis.
Je partage avec vous mon collage freestyle.
Al preparar mi tema, me centré en la mano y el ramo que sostenía. Como el ramo de flores iba a estar ocupado con numerosos fractales, me decidí por un fondo limpio y liso en la parte superior, con una imagen de calma de paisaje acuático en la parte inferior. Cuatro imágenes de fondo ayudaron a crear esta calma.

Para añadir textura al fondo con el surtido de flores, utilicé varios fractales puros que creé en Apophysis 7X, un avanzado programa de renderizado fractal. Crearon un precioso ramo que coloqué en las manos.
También añadí varias imágenes de fuente libre de la base de datos del LMAC, el LIL. Gracias a todos los miembros que han contribuido.
Una vez recopiladas todas las imágenes que iba a utilizar en mi escena, las subí a Canva. Como parte de mi suscripción anual Pro, puedo cambiar el tamaño, eliminar fondos, colorear, reposicionar imágenes y aplicar filtros.
A continuación detallo mis procedimientos. Ya sabía qué imágenes quería como fondo y primer plano.
Empecé con un lienzo en blanco.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my freestyle collage theme.
