A Walk in the Woods by onewing

A Walk in the Woods

I am a bit late posting tonight because I have been in and out all day today. Ready for a sit down now and a bit of a relax.

I saw a collage very similar to this as a canvas print in a shop a few weeks ago and they were asking $350 for it, so I thought I would have a go at creating a collage similar with the photos I took in the Puketi Forest while we were in New Zealand.

I am not sure if it really works for me and I don't think I would pay $350 for a canvas print of it, but it was interesting to create. Any offers? ha ha. A bargain.
Wonderful collage!

A little bit busy for me , but I do love the middle photo in the bottom row. I like its clarity against the lighter background.

Like Jenny @365projectorgjenfurj a bit busy for me too to me it needs dividing lines or gaps between the images -- less confusing for my aged brain to cope with !! lol !

@365projectorgjenfurj @hermann @beryl I agree totally. It is busy and the canvas print was just the same. The idea I think was to show the top of the forest with the clouds in the picture, the centre was the bark of the trees etc and the bottom row was the leaves. I think it would be better to separate each section too which is what I would do, but I wanted to create the same image as the canvas print to see what others thought. I wouldn't pay $350 for it and I can't see anyone else paying that either. It could be in the shop for a while.

Fantastic collage fav

It is a lovely collage of beautiful photos collected on a walk...., I did something similar the other day- but without the composition you are suggesting. But what I think is most important if you wanna do a canvas for yourself is to pick photos that have a meaning to you, that you can tell a story about, and feel good looking at it! My favourite one in this collage would be the one at the bottom in the middle...FAv

Some lovely shots and great textures. I agree, too busy for me. Without borders, it's harder to appreciate the individual images.

Some great images in the collage Babs, looks like a fantastic place to photograph!
March 21st, 2016  
It's an interesting idea but as already mentioned, the lack of borders makes it more difficult to appreciate the individual shots.

Beautiful collage, Babs. Such pretty greens and I like the details in the pictures.

Interesting collage with some lovely images and I like the way the rows are composed. It'd be nice to sell one for $350 wouldn't it?!
March 21st, 2016  
Lovely collage!
March 21st, 2016  
I think it's a cool collage separating the top, bark and leaf details.
March 21st, 2016  
So many interesting things to see here. Especially like the bottom middle shot.

@jackie8 Thanks Jackie. Had a quiet week last week and it was nice. Pretty busy this week though, but I need busy this week to be honest.

@inthecloud5 Yes it woulde be nice to sell one for $350, but I doubt anyone would buy the canvas I saw. Well I wouldn't anyway. Just thought this was an interesting exercise.

This is a lovely collage, and I like how it shows different aspects of the same place. Is this what you would call a deconstructed landscape?
March 22nd, 2016  
OH my....great collage. Lots of textures and patterns. Beautifully put together Babs!
March 22nd, 2016  
@888rachel I guess it is, I Googled deconstructed landscape and the picture that came up was very similar to this one. I got this idea from a canvas print I saw in a shop and I guess they copied their idea from the photo on the website. Wouldn't pay $350 for this as a canvas though.

i love those ferns on the bottom row - I would buy some of those *wink*
