Swan Song

This is my entry for the Collage Obsession challenge "Pink". I layered a beautiful photo of Anna Pavlova (Wikimedia) over a background from deviantartscraps and added Fresco and screen filters for the look of an impressionist painting. I added scraps from sheet music and soft light filters.

    Lori this is really lovely. It's funny how much difference just a touch of color makes...your black & white works are wonderful. After my experiment with black & white I've decided that I am a color junkie...it about killed me to leave it B&W I finally had to ad just a touch of purple....and still wasn't happy...weird huh?

    Just wonderful! I love the way you used the theme color so sparingly...just the perfect amount.

    This is so beautiful! I love ballet, although I don't go to see them. I guess it's because I don't have any friends who are interested in it.
