The Mess Maker – Composite

Yeah, it’s not the best crop

I’ve looked at this one for so many hours now, that I don’t know what to think.

The background image was taken in the semi-abandoned town of Cisco, just outside of Moab, Utah.

Inspired by Joel Grimes.

**Kelby Training just released Joel’s first class ‘Creative Compositing: Professional Techniques for Composite Photography’ and IT’S AWESOME!**
