The Butterfly Cow | La vaca Mariposa ✨LMAC Round 213✨
Hello everyone, here is my participation in the LMAC Round 213 of the Let's Make a Collage contest, which is an initiative of @shaka and @lmac.
When I saw the image, the song “La vaca Mariposa” (The Butterfly Cow), performed by our international singer Simón Díaz, immediately came to mind. It is the story of a cow, who gives birth to her calf and hides it with concern, because she knows what its destiny will be, sooner or later. It reflects the protection and tenderness of a mother. It is a song that takes me with nostalgia for my childhood in the Venezuelan plains. Simón Díaz was a Venezuelan composer and singer, a worthy representative of our folk music. At the end, I include the song.
Hola a todos, aquí está mi participación en la Ronda LMAC 213 del concurso Hagamos un Collage, que es una iniciativa de @shaka y @lmac.
Cuando vi la imagen, enseguida vino a mi mente la canción "La vaca Mariposa", interpretada por nuestro cantante internacional Simón Díaz. Es la historia de una vaca, que da a luz a su cría y la esconde con preocupación, porque sabe cuál será su destino, tarde o temprano. Refleja la protección y la ternura de una madre. Es una canción que me lleva con nostalgia a mi infancia en los llanos venezolanos. Simón Díaz fue un compositor y cantante venezolano, digno representante de nuestra música folklórica. Al final incluyo la canción.
He utilizado exclusivamente imágenes de nuestra biblioteca #lmac; éstas son las fuentes:

For this round, I decided to accept the challenge of making my first double exposure with the Gimp program. The image provided by @shaka took me to places that make me feel very good, the countryside and all that it represents. Well, let's go with the process. I manipulated the image several times reflecting it until I got my first scenario to work with. I also fine-tuned with the tools scissors, free selection, and magic wand my central figure the cow on which I would make the double exposure. I was giving life with different elements from our #LMAC library, so different animals were appearing, using selection and transformation tools, so the number of layers was growing. When I had the desired number of elements, I worked with the painting tools, with the color tools: levels, chromatic tone, brightness, contrast, and exposure. The brush and eraser were used, as well as layer masks. A new background image was also included.Then all layers were combined into one, except the cow layer. The cow layer was then transformed into alpha selection and the combination layer was selected with the invert tool, deleted and my double exposure effect was ready. With the resize tool I made adjustments for a better finish and also manipulated the percentage of opacity to the desired, to generate the double image and finally, the result you see. I have attached images of the process.

Para esta ronda, decidí aceptar el reto de hacer mi primera doble exposición con el programa Gimp. La imagen proporcionada por @shaka me llevó a lugares que me hacen sentir muy bien, el campo y todo lo que representa. Bueno, vamos con el proceso. Manipulé la imagen varias veces reflejándola hasta conseguir mi primer escenario con el que trabajar. También afiné con las herramientas tijeras, selección libre, y varita mágica mi figura central la vaca en la que realizaría la doble exposición. Fui dando vida con diferentes elementos de nuestra librería #LMAC, así fueron apareciendo diferentes animales, utilizando herramientas de selección y transformación, por lo que el número de capas fue creciendo. Cuando tuve el número de elementos deseados, trabajé con las herramientas de pintura, con las herramientas de color: niveles, tono cromático, brillo, contraste y exposición. Se utilizaron el pincel y la goma de borrar, así como máscaras de capa. También se incluyó una nueva imagen de fondo. Luego se combinaron todas las capas en una sola, excepto la de la vaca. Seguidamente la capa de la vaca, se transformó en selección alfa y la capa de la combinación se seleccionó con la herramienta invertir, suprimir y listo mi efecto de doble exposición. Con la herramienta redimensionar se hicieron ajustes para un mejor acabado y también se manipuló el porcentaje de opacidad hasta el deseado, para generar la doble imagen y finalmente, el resultado que ven. Adjunto imágenes del proceso.

I listened to the song. What a beautiful voice. I can imagine a child being lulled to sleep with that voice :)
I can see how the song inspired the collage. It is a gentle, fantastical image. Cows are such good mothers. We can feel her sorrow as she contemplates her calf's future.
Good luck this week, @almajandra
Greetings Lady @agmoore, thank you for your kind words. Many times I was lulled with that song, it is very special to me. Everything can be a stimulus and a trigger to relive moments and stimulate our creativity. I also think that cows are very protective and tender with their calves.
Thank you so much for your good wishes, so be it.
Happy week Lady !HUG !LUV !LADY
