Clear Lake Spirit

There is a park in southern Ontario where -- a 1000+ years ago -- the local Algonkian people carved hundreds of images into a large exposure of marble. One of the images is of a turtle laying eggs. In the stories of some First Nations people, the earth is a turtle and we ride upon her shell. In my family, this turtle glyph became connected to the birth of my Spirit son (God son, if you will). He will be 12 this winter.

For this image I recreated the turtle using Illustrator and Photoshop, then combined it with an image I shot on a foggy morning at Clear Lake, Ontario last fall.

I'm interested in your initial reaction to the image. My intent was to imply the spirit in everything around us -- especially on mornings when it is quiet enough for such connections to be realized. Was I successful? What would make it better? Thanks for having a look.
