Hello LMAC and Hive members. @shaka, now holds a monthly contest with participants having the ability to submit multiple entries during that month for consideration. If you'd like to join in this monthly round for November, visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 220 - ✨100 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.
I wanted to share with you my Entry #3 collage for LMAC Round 220.
Reflections.
They said it wouldn't last. My family and friends, I mean. They said we weren't compatible. They said my temper was too short. They said the boy I loved was too passive, and that I would eventually lose respect for him. Fifty years later, those same people were proven wrong.
Some attended our wedding anniversary. Others, I understood, heard of the event and simply responded, "there is a God!"
Yes, there is a God.
And it took our faith in God and in each other to submit to him and allow Him to work in our marriage to bring us to understanding that compromise and communication is at the heart of any relationship.
In preparing my theme, I envisioned looking to the future and the past. To accomplish this, I located a futuristic image that felt fantastical. Since I love the water, I decided on a mystical version of an octopus. To reflect the past, I chose a simple black cut-out of a couple. Since they both love music, notes and an instrument felt appropriate. For the musical note, I included one of my pure fractals I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X.
Below are the images I included in my design:

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I begin with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, colorizing, duplicating, filtering, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Thanks for your patience an understanding.
I believe that people's view doesn't matter in our personal life because we have the right to decide who we want to be for ourselves, 50 yrs is a long time , honestly it can only be through the help of God.
The picture collage is very beautiful.
You are correct that what others think shouldn't weigh heavily on anyone's relationship if the attitude is negative. Only in certain circumstances should advice be taken. Things such as this can ruin a relationship.
Thanks for your visit and analysis. I appreciate it and your support. Take care and have a good rest of your weekend.
