Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share my current freestyle collage. My theme involves the concept of mutual respect and adoration. Respect for nature to reside alongside it requires patience, understanding, setting boundaries, and working toward a common goal for the benefit of the environment.
My design is a freestyle version. If you'd like to join in the regular collage contest, visit the @lmac account.
While not on the Endangered Species list, the American Bison is classified as Threatened. This classification is partially based on the actions of groups who manage conversation efforts. More must be done to ensure the continuation of the species in the wild.
In preparing my theme, I chose the image of a bison from the @lmac's #LIL database that was used in a prior contest. It fit perfectly with my nature theme. I hoped pairing it with a female would bring compassion to the scene. As both animal and human admire each other, they know their boundaries. Also the bright colors in the elements resemble the color in nature. My pure fractal added extra color to the purple background.
Below are the elements I included to complete the design:

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

Recently, a major disaster struck my country: floods that submerged many areas. When I saw your post about respect, I was reminded of how terrifying it is today for greedy people who only want to profit from nature without considering the negative impact on the environment.
