recently someone posted asking if and why folks use PP. Well this is an example - not a good one, but at least an example.
The figures are a collection that I painted last year blended together in layers, probably 12 or 15 photos. Between the layers I used photoshop smoke to attempt to provide atmosphere and distance between them.
The sky is computer generated via a program called Terragen 2.
The fractal background is generated by a free program called MB3D using parameters shared by Lenord.
And then I mashed a number of buttons in Nik software to try to better integrate the layers together.
So anyway... I use photoshop (not very well) not to "fix" an image, but (since I can't paint) to assist in creating something new - and for FUN!

Impressive and I'd suggest to viewers to download. There is just so much going on, its just a menagerie for the mind--the story, the mood, the layers, the art.

Thank you guys, nanavel, photoman, Sirius, Tadpole and Mile. You guys are very kind! I had no way expected such a nice reception to this.
Mistakes -- the biggest one was not being good at making selections in PS. And part of that was taking pictures of the troops on a dark background. A colored piece of paper might have worked better.
If I do one of these again (it took me 7 or 8 hours), I'll check out existing artwork and try to come up with a better composition than a straight line. Perhaps in the fore-ground have larger up close images of some action.
Anyway, thank you very much, and now I'm off trying to figure out how to get a decent photo of my motorbike. I'll turn that into my Avatar if I can do a decent job!!
