    Wonderful collage of images. There is a real sense of doom here with the murky colours and shadowy background.

    completely love this image!!!!!!!! wonderful structure and composition of the elements … fabulous post processing!!! I’m always fascinated by these things … to see them properly brought to their rightful artistic stature is a joy!!!! One I’ve thought of attempting for so long … but now … I won’t have to!!! Well done!!!

  • Lynne Haselden replied

    No go ahead and dabble away – I’m always amazed at how uniquely the same subject matter turns out when treated by a group of people. I am having such fun exploring this theme and learning all the way. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Cheers. Lynne

    Great work!

  • Lynne Haselden replied

    Thanks very much Maileilani – beautiful name. ( I thought Maile was Samoan for dog? – different language I know – absolutely no offence intended – my friend had a very beautiful little Maile) x :)

  • maileilani

    maileilani

    LOL. Not offended at all. I’m going to have to tell my mom and dad what it means in Samoan. It’s Hawaiian. Broken down, my name means…come, garland (lei) of heaven.

  • Lynne Haselden replied

    It may be spelled differently in Samoan. (Maile, I mean) :)

    A deeply thought provoking image, I find the superbly merged images quite disturbing.
