The making of "Odd E. Custer"

I visited Bodie, California in the summer of 2011. That's where I photographed the "farm".
The sky was shot somewhere a couple of years ago.
Last week I photographed the guy and the dog.
All done with natural light.

The four original pictures that was used:

Placed a diffuser behind Odd so I could mask out his hair.

Step by step:

As shot.

Camera Raw edit.

Changed the perspective using Free Transform and Distort.

Moved the well, and some of the sand and grass in the left down corner.

Removed a person, lightened some of the shadows, lowered the lower part and added a new sky.

Added the dog.

Added the guy on the next three pictures.

And finally I added some color cast. Finito.

Before and after "Bergman"

I photographed this guy 2 years ago, but I didn't do anything with the pictures back then. This is the "suit" he is wearing when he is out running. Last week I remembered this photoshoot and wanted to make something out if it.

I had no idea what to make, but ended up with this strange superhero kinda stuff.

I have another crop (landscape) of this  this picture on my website.
