Collage TSC

I am trying to depict the end of the season. The large rose was taken when it was vibrant and alive, the same rose(s) after four days and wilting and the mushroom down by the pond which to me is after summer has been going for a while.

Park scene - black and white
Wilted roses with candle - selective color
yellow rose = a bit overexposed

This is my week. It was sort of mundane except for taking pix of flowers and parks.

Put originals in the notes.

PS I am not a fan of photo collages even a physical photo collage. Have always (since I was a young kid and in art school) done them in mixed medium. My experience is that they are done in layers and being that digital photography is one dimensional, the only way I could achieve layers is by using layers. I could not physical cut the pieces and did so by utilizing layer masks.

Here's how I always did collages.

"Collage (from the French: coller, "to glue";[1] French pronunciation: ​[kɔ.laːʒ]) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.:
