Entry guide: step 1 of 5

Creation of What is this?: Step 1

First I went to Image-Hue/Saturation and used -14 for the saturation to bring down the tone a little.

Creation of What is this?: Step 2

Next I used the color burn tool with the opacity 36 and the range shadows to get rid of the hand holding the candle.

I switched between highlights and shadows to make it darker while not going over the candle as much.


Entry guide: step 3 of 5

Creation of What is this?: Step 3

Then I placed my first image,moving it to the side and setting the blending mode to Lighten,so I won't get rid of the background it has (I liked it so I kept it).
Erased a few parts that were blank on top.


Entry guide: step 4 of 5

Creation of What is this?: Step 4

I did the same for step 4,dragging it to the left side this time.


Entry guide: step 5 of 5

Creation of What is this?: Step 5

I merged all of my layers together and selected the candle,resizing it slightly and moving it down a little,using a medium sized brush tool to add some black in missing parts.
