For my Freestyle Collage No. 77, my theme again is discovery on an unusual day. Exploring means different things to different people. The way they go about their exploration can sometimes seem odd to others. I wanted to share with you my interpretation of new discoveries. The old with the new.
In preparing my theme, I first chose a sunset background to highlight the skyline offshore in contract to the cool environment near the shoreline.
Below are the additional images I included for people and objects on the shore to complete my theme:

To blend the images, I uploaded them into Canva. Below are my procedures that show the various tools available in my upgraded Annual Pro Membership Subscription:
To a blank, white canvas, I added the sunset background image.
Resized sunset image to fit half the screen; then added the birds in skyline and LMAC landscape image to bottom.
Removed LMAC landscape background; repositioned and resized it, then duplicated it to fill the screen so there would be camels on both sides. Finally, I colorized it to ensure it was a different hue from the fiery sunset
Added the woman image.
Repositioned woman image in the skyline.
Added the woman and dog, fractals, rocks, and fire.
Added the children.
Removed the background for the children image. Repositioned each on opposite sides of the canvas near the camels. Completed project.
Below is my completed project:
Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. I hope you like my freestyle collage theme.
