Compositing

I learned how to do this in CS4 (I've been combining images for years, but learning to do it in photoshop saves a considerable amount of time). Compositing is where you combine 2 images to make 1. I took the moon from another photo, then copied and pasted it over the bridge. I pasted a second one into the water, flipped it so it would be a proper mirror reflection and used motion blur so it would look like the other reflections in the water. Pretty swell trick!

In this photo, there were a lot of tubes in the abdomen, but I used used a cloning tool and paintbrush to eliminate them. It doesn't look as natural as I was hoping, but I'm still perfecting this one (it's my rough draft).
