Competing for resources. Nature gives. Sometimes in abundance. Then sometimes nature denies. In the same vein its ruthlessness overwhelms. Whether nature can adapt to the environment ensures the success of the species. Resilience is key.
Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share with you my current freestyle collage whose them entails a competition for resources. My collage is a freestyle version.

In preparing my theme, I discovered a somber image of a female I thought perfectly depicted conflict in nature. She looks on with sadness at what she's witnessing. Other images display the contrast in lush and barren. Are unknown forces at work here?

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, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
