Step 1

Before you start, download all the material in one place. So it will be easier to work with them. Open Photoshop and start by creating! Create a new document. Go to File > New or the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ N. A blank document with size of 3000 pixels wide and 2000 pixels high. I named the document “Moment”.

Step 2

Now I have added a picture of the clock. Go to File > Place and select the image of the clock. This will be our main atmosphere. I loved this photo of his uniqueness and contrast.

Step 3

After addition of the landscape with clock, transform it, to fit the document. When you put the picture it automatically in the transformation. But if not, transform the landscape, press Cmd /Ctrl+ T or go to Edit > Transform > Scale or to Edit > Free Transform. Pull the black cubes in the corners formed frame.

Step 4

Now let’s start creating our main landscape. Create a new group by clicking on the icon of the group in the Layers palette and name it “bugs”.

Step 5

Open the image beetles. Go to File > Open or the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ O and select image with beetles.

Step 6

Select the Quick Selection Tool (W).

Now select the mantis. Keep mantis legs be selected and that have not been put into the selection parts of the other insects.

Step 7

Select the Move Tool (V). Grab the selection and drag it into the document.

Step 8

Repeat the same (steps 6-7) with the other insects. All the insects must be in one group “Bugs”. Ignore the mask layers in my file. I have done for you especially ready-insects. You can use other insects, or change the location of these, because creating photo manipulation completely creative process.
