THIRD PRIZE WINNER:

Ruben, Age 18 from Texas
Title: Enter Lee Generals
Caption: "For my art I took photos of my school. Then I put them together to create my image. To start, I used (eraser) to take the roof off of a hall. Then I used a sky for a background. On the floor of the hall, I added two paintings from my school. I had to adjust the size and shape of them before I put them in place. For this, I went to (Edit, Transform, Scale and Skew). Then I placed our mascott to the background. Finally I added a light at the end of the hall. I went to (Filter, Render and Lens Flare). To finish I made a few adjustmetns to make it look more realistic and night."
