Atlas - carrying the weight of the world

"Carrying the weight of The World"
Original Digital Collage
3.5" x 5"
This digital collage was entered in Three Muses challenge. It was created using two image editing software products - Microsoft Digital Image Editor and PSE (Photoshop Elements). Created going back and forth between the 2 programs using 5 images (scans of vintage photo frame, vintage map, sheet music, animation registration grid, an old earring), lots of layers, masking, transparency settings, contrast, saturation, lighting effects, and gradient transparent colors. (approx. 2 hours)

This has to be seen in close-up to appreciate the layering and blending, Lulu. The colors are wonderfully deep. Thanks so much for joining in our challenge.

Yes, I hope everyone enlarges your picture so as not to miss any of the fine detail. This is so dramatic and powerful with super rich colours that make the jaw drop!
Wonderful artwork.
