This composite was a combination of an original photo, some internet images, and a photo that is from the text's DVD. The person, which happens to be me, was the most difficult part of this composition. First, I had to cut out that wierd shape, which at the time, I was still figuring out the little nuances of the various selection tools. Then I noticed that the shadows indicate the general location of the sun. To make this work, I had to cut out the original sky, replace it with a new one, and put a new sun in a spot that works with the directions of the shadows.
Just for a little flare, I decided to add the moon on the opposite side of the sky. However, I had to play with the opacity a little bit to make it look a little bit more natural. As for the choice of color for the duotone part, I just chose a color that had some sort of calming effect. I didn't use any of the filtering tools for this composite because I feel that it wasn't that appropriate for this composition.
