The Fairy and the Fawn

I acquired a new appreciation for Mother Nature years ago including her creatures big and small. My hunting days are long gone and this is how I would hope to see them now.

Well, yes, of course, it is a nice-nice image, sweet perfection. If mounted on the museum wall I glance and walk by. I do not put myself in the image no involvement, no personal identification with the characters. Women would not identify with being angelic, tho she does have her legs spread a bit teasing the male deer!!
Having looked and then sat down to sip my first cup, I pondered what to say or suggest. Then it dawned on me a simple horizontal flip so that the image/story reads from left to right. In doing so, we put ourselves as the deer, the first creature we see. What is the deer, are we, looking at... then we see thru the deer's eyes the crescendo of the visual .... the large beautiful angelic woman. Now we identify as observers seeing through the eyes of the deer. The story ends far right with the Angelic woman.

A charming scene! I particularly like the colors, light and misty look of the sky.

Thanks, Linda. I start with an idea for a creation and then build on it from there.
An image of a deep woods.
A woman sitting on a log.
A white dove for its wings.
A fawn looking in the direction of the subject.
Plants for the foreground.
Coloration with gradients and opacity for the surreal sky. Masks to blend. Dodge and burn to direct light and shadows. Adjustment brushes to create shadows and colored highlights. Add grain to pull all items together as one image. Gradient map to bring all assets together in color harmony as one image.

Thanks, UTMike. It snowed yesterday so it was a good reason to play indoors.

Thanks, Dpullum. If the truth is known, they can be a bit more devil than angels at times. On the other hand, guys can be buttholes all the time.

I admire the composition, lighting and subtle delicate coloration of this image as Linda has said. As SoHillGuy said. "You are ahead of AI with this creation." You, Sippy, created the Chocolate that we enjoy not leaving it up to chance.
Sippy said: "This composite image was created the old-fashioned way using multiple images, layers, masks, and brush techniques to create the final image." That is truly a work of skill as opposed to the "AI Machine Built." Images with AI programs are like Forrest's "box of chocolates; "you never know what you gonna get.”
Flipping the image and identifying with "Bambi" is explained ... "People also form parasocial relationships with characters." Are you, in the beginning, identifying with Bambi and the soft music, and saddened when Godzilla's big foot ends his existence? Generally, people identify with Bambi... Para-Social... identification is discussed at length by Patrick Wanis Ph.D. Behavior Expert in his publication, May 30, 2019:
