pen tool, dragging the image, pulling and crossing

one to the other. To balance it out I placed a line
underneath the companys name.

a tool to cut out the image of the storm from its
own picture and adding it to the image of the temple, the background image. I made used a mask
and two different filters. I copied the image of the

blues. The first image of the storm I lightened up
and blended with the background image.
