Step 1
Create a new canvas in Photoshop with the dimensions Width=1506px, Height=2256px.
Step 2
Now import the image of the Landscape onto the canvas. Also observe the behavior of the reflection in water as it will help us create natural looking reflection in the coming steps.
Step 3
1) Mask out the image of the Women using the Pen Tool (P).

Step 4
In this step we will be creating a reflection of the women on the water surface.- Duplicate the image of the women and flip it Vertically and move it downwards as shown.


Step 5
In this step we are going to create smoke at the bottom of the women which is represented as a portal through which the women has come from.- Since the density of smoke is lighter than water it float on the surface of water, hence using the smoke brush paint white smoke floating on the water as shown using the Smoke Brushes.


Step 6
- Now by using the Lasso Tool (L) roughly cut the background landscape leaving the trees on the right.


Step 7
Since we are creating a night scene, we are going to make the BG (Back Ground) dark in this step. -Create a new layer above the BG layer and paint the dark shade as shown using the Soft Round Brush. Then set the Opacity of the layer to 63%.

Step 8
In this step we are going to color correct the women to fit with the environment we are creating. -With the women layer selected go to Image>Adjustments>Curves and set the RGB curves as shown.
Step 9
In this step we will be creating the night sky with a full moon and also be creating it’s reflection in water.- Import the image of the Night Sky on to the canvas and place it behind the BG layer.
