Interestingly enough, I decided to take some much appreciated advice and add a couple of elements to help balance the collage. It will be interesting to see if it helped....I rather think it did! I also intensified the color with "levels autofix" which actually made it a bit more like the real thing -- except for the birds! They became lavender! What's up with that??? Here it is, for what it's worth....my new improved (?) collage baby.
