Here is a photo I took at Papago Park in Phoenix, AZ. It was a fun place to shoot at.

This is image is considered a composition.  

I used these images to create the final version. I am not making money off this image. I created this composition for my portfolio. I added masks to blend the following images to the background. It's a challenge to blend the images together. You have to blend color and lightness together.

Here is the before version. 

To get the color tone, I used 2 colors. A bluish color and a brown color tone. Just create a "solid color" adjustment layer. Switch both layer modes to "Soft Color". Adjust the opacity of each layer to your liking. 

I hope to someday create an actual tutorial of this image. I hope this little helps to spark interest in editing.
