A lot of images with the same idea it seems.. but as I finished this one already, gonna submit it anyways - took a lot of work.

I cleaned the tree picture and removed the girl from the sunset image. Made several pairs of wings with slight adjustment with rotation/perspective tools. Made an invert for white wings. Made the black wings a bit transparent with masking.

Made a new foot/leg and pants for the flying boy with pattern tool and coloured the pants with gradient map tool.

Used duplicate layers to alter sunset image colours and enchanced them by hand (more red, etc..)

Finally added a bit unrealistic but fun shadow/halo wing effect for the silhouette man.

* update **

Added a shadow for the bushes also, as Langstrum suggested. (2 years and 116 days ago)

nice try, but I think the higher tree branch should be behind the wing or you can delete that one. Moreover, the bush also needs the shadow as the man standing in front. The opacity of the tree is quite low, so it's not stick to the scenery. GL Reply »

Thanks Langstrum. I added the shadow for the bushes, but there are 2 different trees for the picture, one in front and one further away, behind the boy. So I'm gonna left that one, thou I see you can think it's the same tree. Reply »

The perspective of the tree becomes a little bit of hinderance to the wings as the guy flying looks behind from the perspective whereas the branches of the tree are behind the wings in the picture.....Otherwise nice work.... Reply »

I'd still like to point out, in my mind and eyes there are two trees, and the boy's wings are in the middle.. the lower section tree is also further away from the boy.. so no collision - yet . .? Reply »
