step 2 of 7

Added the balloon, since the original image has a black background I used blending modes to get this image blended. Another advantage this way is also that the balloon it self becomes transparent as it should be. 2 Hard problems solved in one in an easy way ;)

Since the original balloon source had the splash in and splash out I wanted to use this. Therefor I added a bird flying through the water.
