step 1 of 11
Used pen tool to isolate glass.
step 2 of 11
Clone tool to "grow" water where glasses were. Played with lighting and focus. Then, applied concrete texture over wall area and used free transform/perspective to grow it to cover the foreground (shown here before pulling to cover whole foreground).
sources used for this step:- : source
step 3 of 11
Separated out the water from the sky, gave the sky a hue/saturation adjustment (darkening and mostly desaturating), and gave another hue/saturation layer to the water, giving it a blue hue. Lastly here, gave another hue/saturation adjustment layer to the concrete foreground, darkening it, lowering saturation.
step 4 of 11
Built light pole base by pancaking 3 elliptical gradients, then painting slightly to "connect them (the middle "white" layer was just for the highlight on the edge of the base.
step 5 of 11
Used pen tool to draw a pole, then added the beer glass light, free transform to scale it and place it.
step 6 of 11
Applied various gradients and dodge/burn to create shading and highlights on the pole. The added another gradient to create the inner beam, which is somewhat constrained by the glass housing.
step 7 of 11
Added another, wider beam that cast onto the concrete and the base. Added shadow on base, and another shadow on the ground. Then added a layer mask on the concrete where the light would be hitting it.
step 8 of 11
Added "bolts" by creating a small ellipse, and assigning it a gradient, NOT using global light, but changing the light for each bolt in relation to the light from the pole (and one in the shadow)
step 9 of 11
Isolated the couple from David Niblack's image using Quick Selection tool for rough chopping, then pen tool for fine tuning.
sources used for this step:- 1: source 1
step 10 of 11
Made each shadow by duplicating the "people" layer, filling the people with black, then using the transform to rotate and distort them into shape. Added a 1 to 2 pixel Gaussian blur. Then lowered the opacity of each, according to the intensity of its light source (shown here at full opacity).
step 11 of 11
Added a blue hue/saturation layer and clipped it to the "people" layer. Then created a new layer and added some stars in the sky using a soft brush with some scattering and shape dynamics, and blurred them a bit. That's it.
