The Protector | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: CREATIVE ROUND
Welcome back everyone to my participation in the Let's Make a Collage (LMAC) photography contest by @shaka. This week all members of LMAC were invited to create a collage for fun and creativity since @shaka will be away having some rest and relaxation.
However, he left instructions. Since he knows that members of LMAC love to create collages, we could let our imagination flow and utilize any of the previous contest entry images that he provided to us for inspiration. We can use as many as we want.
So I decided to utilize four photographs provided by @shaka from previous contest rounds.

For my background image, I decided to utilize the photograph from LMAC Round 82. We've all probably had more than one idea we wanted to submit, but could only post one collage for the weekly contest. When I submitted my contest entry last week, I already had a couple more collages created and had to choose my favorite. Sometimes, it works and sometimes not. However, I liked from the rugged coastline with the large rock extending into the water.
The theme of my current collage is The Protector. The idea was to create a scene of peril for a young lady about to be attached from a horrible creature as she stands above a rock near her otherwise idyllic home. However, a small dove she cared for tries to save her for a terrible fate. Unbeknown to her, the dove has special powers. We don't know how the situation ends and if he's able to withstand the breath from the creature.
To create the theme, I uploaded all 4 images into Canva. With my Pro Membership Annual Subscription, I have access to both free and premium images on their site, in addition to premium features, such as filters, background removal, resizing, and others. To get the rustic look, I change the filter to dramatic.
Next, I added the images below I thought would fit well with my theme:
Fire and Sticks in Water by sty22 from Canva.com's Premium Image Stock
Fire by Anatasia collection from Canva.com's Premium Image Stock
Red/Blue Lightning by Cappan from Canva.com's Premium Image Stock
Dragon by PNGStock from PurePNG
Dove by UpMeHolidays from PurePNG
Planet Ring by LoganArt from Pixabay
Dark Angel by Comfreak from Pixabay
Below is the completed collage.

Wow! What a lovely collage!
This is quite a creative combination of the images from past contests and free sites. The creature, dove and girl images blended in well. I hope the dove and girl make it out alive from this confrontation.
I love these collages and sometimes wish I could be this creative. Hehe, well done ma'am. 🙂
Thank you for your very kind words. I don't consider myself a true artist and truly creative. Sometimes I combine items together that work. I think I have a different personality and perspective for the way I view the world.
And, I sincerely hope you try it one day and participate in the LMAC contest. You'd be surprised at what you can do. I know your talent for creative writing, so you've already got a head start.
Take care.
Yes, the dove will definitely save her! How clever to combine four images. These were among some of my favorite. You were really creative here. Great outcome.
Thank you for your nice words for my collage. I was hoping for a pleasing scene on one side against a harsh one on the other. I think it turned out good. Appreciate you stopping by. Take care.
I plan to create another college from other rounds and publish in a different community to highlight LMCA and how much fun it is.
Take care.
How do I join this collage thing. ? Are we allowed to use free photos or do they pick them?
Hello @adysscheryl How are you? I remember you from CTP. The contest is weekly. The contest owner @shaka provides a photo for your to make your collage. If you check out @shaka's Profile, you will see the weekly contest posts. Just read the instructions and rules.
The contest will resume once @shaka returns. Before then, you can familiarize yourself with how it works. In my post above, I provide a few details. However, please read the official contest post.
Also, you must publish your collage in the Let's Make a Collage Community. Why not visit the Community page to see all the awesome collages members create. Hope you decide to join in next round.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my collage post.
See you then, and take care.
Thank you for responding so quickly
Am following her now. I join the community soon 😊

WELCOME!!!!!!!!
Okay thank you. I don't have a previous one I've never done it before so I will go to that link you gave me and look at it. It will have what I need to do in there and what do you mean by free will actually cost to enter?
Great one! I love the idea that you used various templates from previous contests. 😎
Thank you for your kind words for my collage. Yes, I loved working with all the previous contest photos. I only missed a few weeks of the contest. I'll have to return to see what other ones I can revisit.
I hope we get a chance to do this again. It was fun to choose which one we wanted to use. Or in the alternative, maybe 2 photos to choose from going forward would be nice.
Have a good week ahead and take care.
Hi, it is a beautiful composition.
Thank you for your lovely words I appreciate your support.
I thought while Shaka is joking this was a great idea to do a non week collage contest so cool that you used 4 to make the new collage world
Thank you for entering this holiday week and the fact you did reward the community with the usual 20% ( some even more ) and that will make a huge difference next week hopefully!
See you next week
