This is my third and final image for the IMM 110 Midterm. I decided to pick this image to be the last of the project because I believe it culminates the impact of the trip on my life. Individual basketball players are in the four corners, while the centerpiece is a group shot of two different teams that live in two different cultures that speak two different languages, yet that are bound together through one cross.

I started with a scenery picture of Guatemala, and again used the stamp tool to get rid of some extra poles towers. I then used the filter tool to make it look like a painting. I then tried to mask the group photo, and had some trouble getting the selection from one picture to another. Eventually I got it, but I do not even remember how because I was trying so many things and eventually got it to work. I then changed this mask to a black and white photo, so the cross that would come later would blend in with it. I then used the lasso to get four different basketball action shots of players on the trip. Finally, I brought in the cross layer, which is the same cross from the first photo and free transformed it and lowered the opacity on it to make it blend in with the group photo.
