Original image
step 1 of 16
I used this image as starting-point.
step 2 of 16
Got rid of its background and everything I did not want.
step 3 of 16
I placed a new background.
step 4 of 16
I cut out a regular coconut and copied it to a new layer at the top.
step 5 of 16
I split the coconut in two halves after having increased its size. Using warp and smudge tools I used one of the halvez to cover the hut roof.
step 6 of 16
Same process for the other half after having flipped it vertically.
step 7 of 16
Then I worked on the hut shadow roughly.
step 8 of 16
I applied adjustment layers to the background - levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation.
step 9 of 16
I cut out one more coconut and made some copies of it and the other one. Changed their size and position and put them into a folder.
step 10 of 16
I made a copy of the coconuts folder, flipped it horizontally and reduced its size.
step 11 of 16
Then I worked on the coconuts shadows on the ground. The shadows on the coconuts I made using the burn tool.
step 12 of 16
Background excepted, all the layers were merged in a new layer at the top and hue/saturation adjustment layer was applied to it.
step 13 of 16
In a new layer at the top I merged all the layers again, background included, and applied paint daubs filtre to it.
step 14 of 16
I duplicated the topmost layer and applied both photocopy filtre and colour burn blending to it.
step 15 of 16
I created a colour fill adjustment layer at the top, applying soft light to it.
step 16 of 16
I merged the layers in a new layer at the top one more time, duplicated it, equalized the copy and applied overlay blending with 40% opacity to it.
