High Res Please
It all started from cutting out the gate from the background with the polygonal lasso tool. Added the grassy background, gaussian blurred the top half. Added the sky & erased the bottom with a big soft brush on low opacity. Blending mode for the sky was Hard Light, Opacity 70. Then i duplicated the background , changed the levels & changed the blending mode to Normal, 55. Then I added the turtle and merged him with the background. Next was the burn tool used on Highlights, Exposure 50, & added some shadows to the bottom of the gate, ground & turtle shell. Also darkened the top of the walls, And added the Ivy. Lastly I adjusted the levels & curves.
And because it previously eluded me that I had to add my credit for the tutorial That I learned this technique here as well as D.A , here it is:
