This is a bit wierd, I guess, but I have been thinking about this possibility for a while--the fact that in the midst of urban and environmental problems, there is hope for peace as new generations come and learn. So, I gathered some of my photos from various places and imposed the hope of that new generation on them.

Used several photos (some of them, you've seen already) at about 65% opacity. The baby is done with polarization filters.

I'm not sure the baby isn't too bold, so if you think so, do you have any suggestions on how else to present him?
Thanks.

Hazel, Alot going on here and yes I agree it's a bit weird-but I think your message has really come across. I might de-sat. the baby a bit more and refine the edges a bit by erasing them at a very low opacity or blending them w/ a mask. Nicely presented. Might make a nice poster for an enviro. type of cause.

Interesting composite... almost a documentary and I like the message as presented.

The photos you chose to blend really do get across your message. I also prefer the repost.

Hi Hazel, I think the repost where the baby is blended more into the overall helps the image. Very creative!

Great work Hazel! I like the repost and the original! Unfortunately there is too much reality here!:(
