step 2 of 2

Scaled source from pe to my picture, placed behind layer created earlier. Used a dry brush filter on it to mix it up a bit. Added drop shadow to top layer (bring foreground out), added inner shadow fx to source (shallow cove), to get wanted shadow effect. Used dodge and burn throughout photo (wanted to bring out interior of structure a little, and also bring out doorway in cave).

Nice idea. Sourceimage became mud wall. Fine. I thought, the wall with stone hue would look better. More attention to wall edge would picture awesome. GL
