New York, Statue of Liberty

Our tour boat wound around to see the Statue of Liberty. As soon as it was snapped I knew that this shot would be used with text to the left.

A picture was taken of a flag after our return to Houston. The text itself was created using one of Photoshop's built-in styles. Then the mask tool was used to underlay the flag within the text. Last, just the torch was copied and placed over the text to give it the appearance of being behind the statue. All of this took a couple of hours of experimenting.

Interestingly, after all that work this photo ended up looking lousy in print. Seems to look better electronically...
