About the Image(s)
I did not have an initial idea to create this image, I started looking for a base picture to give me the first step to place some more elements, when I found the forest picture in my catalogue, I knew that I could create something from it.
To create this image, I used one forest photo as a base and then I placed some elements like a house that I shot in NZ in October 2019, a car shot in a farm in The Blue Mountains, three pics of flowers from my neighbourhood and a cat that I shot one afternoon in the beach’s rocks
I opened all in photoshop, the forest image was used as a background layer and then I placed the rest of the elements blending them with the background. When I was happy with the placement of the elements and the blending, I merged all in a layer and then I started to apply some adjustments in contrast and vignetting. Two more layers of textures were applied and a filter in camera raw. Eventually final touch in Nik collection placing a frame.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

It just screams: First chance I get I am out of here.
I agree with Alan that the white border is distracting.
Its a winner!   Posted: 10/09/2021 13:52:21
I think the car really makes this image. It's so wonderfully decrepit, and the colors are a lovely bright spot, subtly echoed by the flowers.   Posted: 10/16/2021 12:53:46
I wonder about playing with the toning to make it all come together a bit more. This could be more cohesive with some global toning.
I also agree with the above comments about the white spot and the white frame not quite fitting the image. If you really want a frame, I'd suggest selecting a color that doesn't detract from the image.   Posted: 10/16/2021 13:19:51
