A bit of fantasy

I decide to post this image with the realization that not everyone will or want to relate to it. The life of this image began with three dead leaves from an elephant ear plant which was heading for the trash. I just could not let that happen. With thought and insomnia what you see floated through my head in the wee hours. It was worked by no special program, everything was done with an older PSP by itself. It is how I sometimes see things.

I will tick the SO so if anyone is so inclined may do what they will, or better yet how you react to the PP.

Thank you for looking

Clever, out of the box - sorry - out of the vase, thinking.

Still Art at its best. The older artists did similar things with dead plants and rotten fruits - yours could sit well within that genre.

Particularly enjoy the shadow swirls at the top and the complimentary colour of the water in the glasses.

The colours and textures are magnificent - you really should print and mount this one - Hang it in 'The loo' so people have time to look and enjoy......rather than glance at it in the hall.

well thought out and executed

Very nicely done. So my question is - Is this the same image reproduced three times in increasing size to make the collage or did you move the leaves into different vases?

You are quite observant, it is indeed three layer of the same treated differently, then re-positioned. simply put.

Wow! What great creativity - Love the arrangement, the background.. and also love to tinker with PP so here is my edits all in LR - made a black and white version and then tweaked the color one with some dodge and burn techniques to increase contrast a bit.. Hope you like! Again Kudos on putting such a great and creative composition together... I would have never ever thought about doing something like that!

Thank you for your ideas, of the two I prefer the color because it carries the idea further. The B&W is good technique, and I usually feel B&W can give more thrust to an image, however in this case I feel the need of the color to keep separation in the image, and as I said before, your color additions indeed add to the image. Thank you

Great image. I would love to know how you did it.
Yes, indeed, hang it.
