In this composite I worked with 6 images. All these images had very different colors, contrasts, one black and white, one nightshot of a burning house.

My goal was to achieve a dark image with warm colors in the foreground and cool blueish grey colors in the background.

The first layer of the composite was the plane. I desaturated the colors a little , and changed the mid tones  to a more brownish color.

Each new layer I adjusted the colors to match the color range of the first layer.

So finally you end up with similar colors in each layer.

Just imagine your light sources  are a full moon from the top left corner and the burning engine of the plane.

The goal is to create a believable image.

This can be very hard or disappointing  at times. But slowly you'll build up your experience. Take your time, work carefully and never give up.

Good luck
