Spring Creek Massacre

What a mess. I thought the idea for this week's work was a good one, but the results seem to refute that. I took twelve frames of Spring Creek as I walked along the water's edge; an odd, disjointed panorama that somehow still gave the flavor of the place. I wanted to treat each frame individually with multiple overlay collage elements, then combine all twelve in one piece, intensifying the jaggedness of misaligned frames, but somehow keeping the creek intact and distinguished.

The individual pieces are now posted, and the combined work can be seen on the "featured" gallery of my website. Your feedback is welcome. I like the white unfinished area, since I couldn't decide how to finish it anyway; does the creek come out in good shape, or does it suffer continual abuse?
