Photomontage

"When you face with both front and back edges, do not forget your friends"

This is the message I want to send along with the photomontage that I made.

Iwould like to share a little experience while doing this image:

1. This is how the background part look like (from the original image)

But how I made the whole background of the image? I copied the layer, produced more similar layers and put them into appropriate positions. The background consists of 20 smaller layers, which had been merged into a single layer later on.


2. Realistic:
To make it more realistic, there were 2 things that I have done:
First, the nearest hills (from the background) are zooomed to create close distance objects.
--> Result: the image look more real because there are "closer hills", "far away hills" and blured moutains.
Second, using lightning effects on the rocky walls
--> Result: makes people think that there is a direct sun light from from the above.


3. Frequently used tools:
1. Zoom Tool
2. Magnetic Lasso Tool
3. Lasso Tool
4. Clone Stamp Tool
5. Blur Tool
6. Eraser Tool
7. Magic Wand Tool
