This is interesting Mix Media work Cleo, I really like soft touch here, nice texture and i like how beautifully you have merged all photographs. Very well composed, but that highlighted thing is not well defined, or not well merged, maybe cause its green too. So you need to work on it. Overall nice work. All the best.

    Thank you Surmed, I worked a lot on that green thing to make it that way. It was a deadly Green Mamba before I changed it and keep looking like one what ever I did. It just looked to photo like. I wanted some hint of that there is some danger in a Jungle always. I probably should put just another Snake or a Crocodile there. Or just pant something. I started out with a Jaguar but that doesn't work. It must be some thing green. Thank you so much.

Comment from Jorge Gaete


Great composition.
Beautiful colors that blend to perfection.
Great detail and what a feeling of peaceful nature.
The butterflies seem to be guiding the birds on their march.
All of it under the watchful eye of a bird and a fuzzy figure.
I love it.

I cannot imagine how much time you spent on this. I always watch for your work - and the reason for that is you have the ability to combine things and make them seem that they were always one. (not always easy to be successful at this) I might not always understand - and I have goofed up before - but I always enjoy the journey. For me, this work is slightly different from you - and that might be because I still have the memory of Dream. Well done and best wishes for the contest.

    Thank you so much.
    It may is different because I still try myself out especially digital painting. But also I like to take brakes from the heavy stuff like dream or the time-pictures. This one is not without thought. It is made to give the feel of harmony in nature in a fantasy metaphor. By all fantasy and exchanged animals it has also a lot of the reality of an tropical jungle.
