Burning down Neverland,
Scatter the ashes...

Finally, I've made a manipulation that actually tells a story. xD (And yes, there is a story here; it's not some random girl with pyromaniac tendencies.) The idea is that she set her past on fire; she couldn't put it behind her, so she destroyed it, and now she's watching it burn. Since we can't see her face, we don't know what she's feeling - it could be remorse, sadness, anguish, relief...or maybe a mixture of feelings. (Oh, look, something's open to interpretation! How about that? )

This one took me about 4 1/2 hours altogether, mostly because I'm a perfectionist and had to keep going back and tweaking things. I was blessed enough to find beautiful stock images, so a huge thank-you to the stock providers whose images I used!
