Another composite using pictures from DeviantArt.com and Unsplash.com. I used the clouds from a previous composite that took a long time to create and wanted to use it at least one more time. About half the time making one of these manipulations is finding the pictures that will work well together. As I was building this I felt the light bouncing off the clouds with its color flowing over the rino and child.
Picture was done using Photoshop 2020 using a final count of 36 usable layers. Not sure how many trial and error layers were tossed out. Color and color cast are the most difficult challenges for me to wrap my head around. Not one piece ends up being the color it was imported as. When manipulating one of these you use Curves, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance, Levels, Gradient Map, and Black & White layers, some several times.

Very dramatic composite. I struggle with 3 or 4 layers.

Don't give up on the layers. Layers are a wonderful editing tool. When you're about to give up go to YouTube for a refresher course. The instructors over there keep teaching us something new that will transform your pictures to new heights.👍

Your creation hits me in so many different ways and they all start with unbelievable.
When ever I see one of your posts I make sure that I take a look and am always amazed as what you can do.

I would definitely hang unto the clouds and background maybe in a couple of two, three different places. They are amazing.

Thanks for sharing your creations
