Feeding the Waters | Let's Make A Collage Round 219 (Entry #3)

LMAC-Round219-Entry#3-FeedingTheWaters.jpg

Hello LMAC and Hive members. I'm back participating in the LMAC collage contests now that a new format has been adopted. The Community leader, @shaka, will hold a monthly contest with participants having the ability to submit multiple entries during that month for consideration. If you'd like to join in this monthly round for October, visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 219 - ✨100 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

I wanted to share with you my Entry #3 collage for LMAC Round 219. My theme centered around a lone man who is empowered and desires to do good in the world. He's supplying the water with nutrients given to him. The nutrients are flowing from his mouth. A young woman looks on admiring the man and his works. She noticed an angel is guarding the man. That's a good sign, she feels, that he has divine intervention and believes he is worthy in his efforts.

The LMAC Community run by @shaka holds a fun collage contest for its members where any Hive member can participate. If you'd like to join in at any time, just visit the LMAC Community account here and follow the rules of the contest for details on the latest round.

The LMAC Community also offers an opportunity for members to create and post in the Community "freestyle" collage themes. In the freestyle option, more freedom is allowed to design your creations without having to incorporate the monthly contest photo. However, contest rules still apply.

In preparing my theme, I wanted to incorporate the LMAC Round 219 original contest image into an already water landscape. This afforded me the opportunity to break up the muted sunset's reflection in the image I chose as the background and provide a touch of blue water with rocks and waves. It worked out perfectly. A free-sourced image for the man in a waterfall was perfect to fit inside the frame in the rock.

All that was required was to add the various elements to complete the scene. I love how the waterfall image I discovered and duplicated makes it appear as though the water from the photo is flowing into the lake.

Below are the images I included to complete my theme:

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas. Next, I added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

The image is as a whole, it's stunning, but the things I like about the image, is that it's on a lake and the little girl sitting there enjoying watching it all.

Also, that angel guarding the gates, reminded me of the guardian.

Yes, @lanzjoseg. The girl is sitting there taking in all she views. I'm sure she is astonished at seeing the water flow from the man's mouth. I'm so pleased you stopped by. I appreciate your support.

Take care.

Epic! I was somehow triggered to put on the "Child in Time" vinyl (Deep Purple) when I was admiring it. :-D I always get triggered like this by interesting, surreal art and my head plays the right music if I like it.
Really stunning. Great collage, @justclickindiva!

Hello @quantumg. How lovely a compliment for my collage. I thoroughly appreciate it and that you connected with the scene. I often think of music from the 60s and 70s when I create collages. Those eras produced music that was true and you could actually understand and connect with the lyrics.

Thanks so much for your visit, engagement, and support. I appreciate it. Have a good rest of your week. Take care.

I can only agree with that! My impression is that modern music rather comes from assembly lines than from creative minds.

And sung by people who call themselves singers, but are only entertainers duping people from parting with their hard-earned money. However, no one is forcing those people to participate. It's what they believe is music.

Great job! The face in the center draws you in and then the center object just pulls you eyes all around the periphery. Well done!

The face was the best feature I think also. Something in the facial feature; perhaps of hope as the water trickled from his mouth. As you traced the water, that's when you see the entirety. I was hoping the face served as the focal point to guide one on exploring the rest of the scene.

Thanks so much for your visit and lovely compliment. I appreciate it and that you found my theme interesting. Take care.
