Original image
step 1 of 8
This is the original photo I took at a local zoo.
step 2 of 8
I enlarged the photo, filled in the area to match and removed the people.
step 3 of 8
I cut out the lamp post and one horse and brought them to the whale. I then seperated of the horse from the lamp post with copy via layer and then masked out on the post. I then cut off the tail and front legs and reshaped them using free transform and warp. I also copied a bit of the mane and brought it down to the tail.
step 4 of 8
I worked on the post, turning it into a lamp with a bulb, and repairing where the horse tail had been removed. Lowered the opacity to make it look more underwater.
