My Process

1. Started with same adjustments/fixes in Camera Raw as my last entry.
2. Split the foreground from the trees and sky.
3. Below the sky layer, I added:
   • Black fill layer
   • full moon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/studiogerk/3103171487/) masked and with a medium brown overlay (716e60) set to color blend mode to make the color match the photo
   • star field (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wili/1426783949/) with a similar color overlay and a levels adjustment
4. Set sky layer to Color Burn, so it blended properly with the moon.
5. On foreground, converted to smart obj, added 3px guassian blur & set the filter to Overlay.
   • Added solid color layer (9b9784) set to Linear Burn, masked for hightlights.
   • Added another solid color layer (59574c) set to linear burn, masked for bright highlights and opacity 80%.
   • Went back in on both masks and revealed areas that should be bright in the moonlight, like the top of the cement bag stacks, the skylight, etc.
   • Added another dark brown/gray layer (1f1e1a) set to Multiply at 52% opacity, and masked to help give the appearance of moonlight and shadows on the building and other foreground objects.
6. Added man (http://www.flickr.com/photos/downtownmiami/2412105032/), masked for the section of ground he replaced, added a levels adjustment to darken him up, then hand painted shadows on him.
7. Added the axe (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornelluniversitylibrary/4359460505) and masked out its background. Rotated and masked out part that is embedded in the man's chest.
8. Duplicated the Levels adjustment I used on the man and applied it to the axe, reduced its opacity to 83%. Added highlight to the axe using bevel/emboss effect. Added drop shadow, made the effect it's own layer and warped it to go across the man's body appropriately.
9. Created a Clouds layer using a pale color and a dark brown from the image, adjusted with Levels to increase contrast. Converted to smart obj, and added a highlights mask. Converted to smart obj again and transformed with scale and perspective. Then added masking to try and make it "sit in" the scene better. Changed blend mode to Hard Light.
10. Added color fill (393721) set to Color blend mode to unify the colors of all the elements.
