Step 10

Open wheel stock. Extract this wheel part and place it at the right of the ground, convert to Smart Object and flip it horizontally (Edit-Transform-Flip Horizontal) and use layer mask to blend the bottom with the ground:
sunrise10
sunrise10a

Step 11

To make shadow of the wheel on the ground, I make a new layer under the wheel one. Hold the Cmd/Ctrl while clicking wheel thumbnail layer to load its selection:
sunrise11
Fill this selection with black, convert it to Smart Object and flip it vertically. Move this shadow under the wheel:
sunrise11a
Lower opacity to 60% and go to Filter-Blur-Gassian Blur:
sunrise11b
I use layer mask to blur the part below:
sunrise11c

Step 12

Make group for the wheel and its shadow, remember to change the mode to Normal 100%. Create some adjustment layers within this group to change color and darken the wheel:
sunrise12
On Curves layer mask I use black brush to erase the front of the wheel:
sunrise12a

Step 13

Extract tree and move it to the top right corner of our picture:
sunrise13
sunrise13a

Step 14

I make Color Balance and Curves layers (Clipping Mask) to alter color and brightness of the tree:
sunrise14
Erase the left side of the tree (the part that gets more light from the sky) on Curves layer mask:
sunrise14a

Step 15

Isolate the house and position it at the left side of the ground.
sunrise15
Use layer mask to blend the hard edges with the ground:
sunrise15a

Step 16

Make shadow for the house as done with the wheel:
sunrise16

Step 17

Create group for the house and its shadow. Use Color Balance and Curves layers to change house color:
sunrise17
After darkening with Curves I use soft black brush to remove this effect on the right of the house that should be illuminated from sky):
sunrise17a

Step 18

Cut out the well and place it at the right side of the ground:
sunrise18

Step 19

Make shadow for the well as done with other subjects:
sunrise19

Step 20

Group the well and its shadow layers. Use Color Balance, Photo Filter and Curves layers to make color of the well fit the rest:
sunrise20
sunrise20a

Step 21

Open stock of the vines. I removed most of the house parts:
sunrise21
Copy this vine part and place it at the left corner of the house:
sunrise21a
sunrise21b
Add layer mask to this vine layer. Use grass brush, number 256 (bush one) to remove hard edges and achieve the edges below:
sunrise21c

Step 22

Use another vine parts to arrange around the house with same method. I used 6 layers to get the result shown on screenshot below:

    I started downloading everything so I could do this tutorial, even signed up for another site. But then it wants a credit card!! Sorry, not gonna happen.

    So I deleted all the downloads and forgot about this tutorial.

    Note to authors… just cause you’re a member of a stock site, doesn’t mean the rest of us want to be. Verify the images are truly free!

    Every link to sxc.hu redirects to a broken link on freeimages.com. Is there any way to find those images?

    Agreed with the stock photos. It’s too hard to download them and easier to google it. On one hand, free stock photos are free. But on the other, they always disappear. So I am not sure whether I prefer paid or free stock photos. But I wish there are more tutorials where the writer provides their own so that there are no problems like these.

    I have to agree with other viewers regarding the images used. I’ve had to join 2 more sites to obtain the individual images. Free Stock Images are not free. Get one free, but pay for the rest????!!!!! http://www.sxc.hu is the best one; I’ve been a member for years; but the sunset……..waiting for owner to send permission to use Ha!

    To create this tutorial, it would have been easier to google the images. I’ve wasted over an hour so far trying to get the images and I’ve still not had chance to fire up Photoshop yet. I might have to give this tut a miss. Nice end image; but the image resource gathering lets it down big time!!

    I’m also waiting for the permission request to be answered. As for the path, google and you’ll find several stone paths that can be used to replace the paid image.

    Great image.
    It’s a shame I have to wait to get my request answered on the stock site for the landscape before I can do it.
    I’m also struggling to get the path picture. When I click on it, it keeps taking me to a page and asking me to pay. I can’t work out how to get it for free.
