Night Light

first i took out the blue color of the mountains with adjusting the saturation, and added some contrast. I Duplicated the layer 2 times, layer 1= original image. layer 2 is 1/2 of the mountain, and obviously, the next layer is other side

I took the big guy out of his orginal photo, and put him between both 1/2's of the mountain. You can do that by putting left side layer behing Male Light, and right side above his layer. BY THE WAY, I HAVE A BRIGHT YELLOW BACKGROUND, SO I CAN ERASE AROUND EACH IMAGE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE, AND ZOOM IN CLOSE WITH THE SOFT ERASER.

I did the same thing with clouds like i did with the mountains, i just chopped up the clouds. Played whit the contrast and saturation.

Now I just turned on all the layers from the previous steps

On this step I took the lightning image and magic wand it and took out the black background. Then I edited contrast, and put that layer on top of every layer except the top cloud. In real life, lightning comes thru clouds, not over them. :)

Now turn on all layers

Then I re-sized the photo, flatten the image. I used the blur tool around all the clouds and the lightning. I used some contrast and......WA LA!
Hope you like it :)
