Being prepared for anything gives a person the advantage to conquer anything. In this design, the woman is prepared for anything even the sand storm she has encountered. One of the biggest challenges I experienced was working with the hair. As I masked the image the more I zoomed in the less I could tell which was hair & what was shadows. Another issue I encountered was creating texture. I finally came up with an idea to make the illusion of a sand storm. Editing the image was a success because I was able to change the curves and contrast to make the images blend.
