NR#9: Gone

I use many effects to make this image stand out a little bit. From your observation, you can see that I divided the picture into two sides. One is representing the good side (Sam and Astrid) and the other is representing the dark side (Diana and Caine). Caine and Sam are brothers but Sam hadn't noticed that before. They are having fight and many people died because Caine has been torturing them for making Sam surrender. Diana is on Caine's side because she is deeply fall on him so she would do everything for him, even die for him. Astrid is a kind teenager. She helps those children who has no parents beside because people from fifteen year-old above suddenly disappeared, include parents. So now the invasion is on. Winners? Losers? No one know.. Read and find out.
