18. Manipulated image with appropriate caption:

19. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made
those changes:
The first change I made to the image was separating the sky from the mountains, from
here I adjusted the hue and saturation of the sky to a more darker blue and allowing the
pink of the clouds to become brighter. After this I selected the layer that included the
snow and mountains. I enhanced the brightness to make the snow look whiter and to
allow for the mountains to stand out more from the background. After this is adjusted the
colour balance of the whole image, I did this to enhance the lightness.
My final step was adding the caption. For this I used a suitable font and suitable colour
that I felt would work well with the snow theme of the image. The caption presents a clear
understanding of what the image is.
