'Stand In The Rain'

This is an image I made in photoshop, it's of a lone figure, standing in the rain next to a tree, all pictures were acquired off of the internet. To create a picture similar to this, you would first need to find a field or barren land that has a clear skyline, then, using the warp tool, warp so it has a dip in it's right side. Afterwards find a picture of a mountain, then put it on a new layer over the field, from there align it with the dip so the mountains match up with the dip, but make it stretch so it reaches both sides. After aligning it, you warp it so it matches the dip you have on the field, then use the the masking tool to erase everything but the mountains and to have it blend with the field.

Now, find a cloudy sky and put that on a new layer, from there, mask it so it only covers the mountains and the sky, after that, change the opacity to 65%. Pulling up a new layer, get a picture of a tree and using the color range tool, select the sky so you can keep only the tree, you then use the hue and color balance tools, change it to an eerie blue color, shrink it down and mask it so it blends better with the picture, then change layer type to darken. Copy and paste your tree onto another layer - so you have two trees - and horizontal flip it, matching it up with the other tree, change the perspective and the size so it looks like a shadow of the tree. Then change the layer type to hard light and 46% opacity.

Using another new layer, using a scatter paintbrush, use a light blue and paint your image so it has multiple dots on it, then change the opacity to 72%.
