This is probably the most elaborate retouching/photo-composition job Mike has ever been hired to do. He was sent 3 individual photos (those at upper left). Each of these individual photos was retouched (as stand-alone figures). Then, all 3 girls were grouped together in overlap. Note that 2 of the girls were flipped so that all 3 swords showed. Then, Mike went into the woods outside his studio and shot a background. He popped in the group of girls and added sunlight rays for drama.
