Nice as usual Inkz..I thought the rock on the right side is another image?

 

[Inkz]

Nah..

I didn't change any of the scenery apart from the sky and created better lighting.

I tried before like yours, any tips for the hair? I had a hard time with hair.

Refine edges is your best friend for this.

And maybe channels and calculations.

No it's not mine bro...

Just used it as a BG stock.

Subtle, but definitely not simple. I don't know if people can fully appreciate how hard it is to color correct and blend like that. Great Job!
