Absolutely stunning, cleo.
Twelve images you've incorporated to make this - I can't imagine the mind keeping track of all that goes into making such a composite.
Much less all the talent it takes.
I wouldn't know where to begin with this - but I can appreciate it and all the work that went into it.
Two Worlds In One has got to be one of your more complex and intriguing works yet.
To try and talk about this would only be to spoil the beauty of the intent - it is simply meant to be enjoyed.
What an accomplishment. I can understand how you could have spent so much time on the creation.
I truly admire your skill.

Thank you so much. You just fillet my glass. It's so full it's spelling over.
Yes I spend some time with it. Mostly thinking [and let the toast burn in the main time]
Actually there are 15 images in from 12 photos. After I had the concept I just had to find the right pictures. I selected a bunch putting them in an separate file. Than I cut all the things I wanted and put them in another file. That is how I keep track. Wile working I save in layers so that I could change if something doesn't work out or I want to change something. I know you just need some time but you will do similar work when you are ready.

I see what your message is here. Or at least heres what i think. This little girl has a choice of which world she wants to be in or should go in. One choice is fancy clothes and cars, material things. The other door is family and home life as she knew it growing up. Even though its not as nice as the material things. Family is family. I love how you did this and presented this to us to use our own imaginations.

Thank you for your generous review.
Why do you want the same door? There a two different worlds why do the should have the same door? Please tell me it is very interesting and important to me to understand how people observe this picture and what they are feeling and why. [I was happy that I had a photo of a corner on a house with identical doors but different door hangers.]

Your picture has great initial impact, and the two worlds certainly do speak for themselves. That you used parts of 12 different pictures is very impressive, and shows your technical excellence. The picture is most interesting, and the story telling ability is almost unlimited.

Comment from shiloh106
I think you have created a very powerful vision of this child's choice to follow tradition or move into the modern world and all the glitter that it offers. wonderful blending of all these photos. Your layering has worked really well and I especially like the way you have flipped the little girl and the doors giving her Door number 1 and Door number 2-very well thought out.
You know when I visited Mexico we went through a very small town and when I saw the children I wondered about this very thing.. how do they decide to stay or go...

Thank you so much for looking at my picture and seeing what is in it. The reviews so fahr show that people see more less what is in this picture but you are the first one what see it all and have put the meaning in these few words: ..how do they decide... May one has to know Mexico to understand. Thank you for understanding.

Comment from bone lady
How very thought provoking, how difficult the choices can be sometimes, even when we know what is behind the doors. This also says to me that more is not always better. The simpler things in life usually prove to be more rewarding. But at such a tender age one wonders if she knows that, or how difficult her lessons will be depending on the door she chooses

Thank you Kendra. You really saw what I try to tell both of these worlds are reality down here right now. The photos were taken in a circle from not more than 100 miles.

Comment from MoonShine
Excellent concept of eat meets West beautifully constructed and layered. So much to see the girl in the middle seems overwhelmed and at a cross roads, which door to choice? A huge amount of thought and creativity has gone into this and has really paid off in the result. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing this great work.
