as a photoshop newbie, this kind of manips is something I like most. this pic requires no high skill in doing manips, this is done in very basic way of manipulating like masking, blending, cropping, some layer adjustment and burn or dodge tool action...most of all, it is not so time consuming,..the suitable sources are very important to complete this pic,...just a little drawing ( yes, very little, for I am not that good at drawing, LOL ),is performed that is the fence,..many great tuts of manips can be found at http://www.readactor.com/design/25-matte-painting-tutorials-for-adobe-photoshop/ or can also visit http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2009/05/11/40-extravagant-surreal-and-fantasy-scenes-photoshop-tutorials/ , hope you guys like it,...

26 changes here, some easy, but others a little more challenging. Kids and grandkids will enjoy this one ( mine did, anyway). Answers are in place of an SBS. Thanks to Infographe_Elle at morguefile.com for the great photo. Lots of cloning and drawing with brush tools. No other outside sources.

"I thought you said this was a LICENSED practitioner!"


Only the source was used, and my own sketch as a reference.. i wish i could draw better xD
