Taken this past summer on the Homer Spit in Alaska. The Bus was discarded by the waters edge among a collection of other trucks and boats. Most of the editing was through GIMP's selection, layering and opacity features. Using the Bus as the base image I opened the Greyhound Logo and dog images as layers. Both were masked to eliminate unwanted areas, resized and positioned to their desired location. The layers were merged, image flattened and saved. I used ACDsee's Oil Paint effect to subdue the final image.
