At first glance I thought I would breeze through this tutorial; Let's just say that didn't happen. I completed this tutorial in Just under two and a half hours...I definitely don't know enough about photoshop yet to fly through this expert's instructions.

I was able to complete a similiar project using my own photos in less time, but not quickly. Difficulty aside, it was worth it. I was able to learn something that I'm sure I'll use again.

My Edit (with the tutorial)

Doesn't look exactly like the one on the site, but it's close enough for me.

My Edit

Wow! It's much more difficult do use the same process when people are involved, but you get the idea.

The sky is from Langkawi island in Malaysia.

My Laughable Edit

I think this photo's not a great choice for this project. My skills aren't there yet, but it was worth a try:)

Same sky as the previous pic.
