The image depicts a hand of crystal on a dry surface, edited using Adobe Photoshop. The manipulation involves merging two separate images, one of a hand and another of parched earth, to create a realistic and visually striking depiction of water quenching thirst. The use of color correction, blending modes, and layer masks adds depth and texture to the final image. These images showcase the entire evolution of the project, from its initial stages to the final completion, capturing all the significant steps in between.
