Step 1: Preparing the Document

To start things off, we're gonna open up an image from our computer.

This can be any wildlife picture with a central focus point.

For this example, I'm going to be using a picture of a bear in a clearing in the woods.

Step 2: Brightening the Focus Point

- Use the Ellipse Select tool to make a circle around the focus point.

- Right click, and select Inverse

- Click layer, select New Adjustment Layer, and select Curves

- Move the middle of the line slightly down until the bear is a little brighter than everything else

- Select Mask, and move the Feather slider to the right until the brightness is smoothed out

Step 3: Add in a Sea Creature

- Select File, Open

- Open up a picture of a sea creature (For this example, I am going to use a shark)

- Use the Magnetic Lasso Select to outline the creature accurately

- Copy the selection, go back to the original image, and paste it

- Select the move tool, tick the Transform Controls box, re-size it and move it to a location that looks good

Step 4: Add in a 2nd Sea Creature

- Select File, Open

- Open up a picture of a sea creature (For this example, I am going to use a whale)

- Use the Magnetic Lasso Select to outline the creature accurately

- Copy the selection, go back to the original image, and paste it

- Select the move tool, tick the Transform Controls box, re-size it and move it to a location that looks good

Step 5: Add in a 3rd Sea Creature

- Select File, Open

- Open up a picture of a sea creature (For this example, I am going to use a fish)

- Use the Magnetic Lasso Select to outline the creature accurately

- Select the move tool, tick the Transform Controls box, re-size it and move it to a location that looks good

Step 6: Add in a 4th Sea Creature

Step 7: Adjust the Hue and Saturation

- Select the Background layer, then click Layer

- Create a New Adjustment Layer for Hue/Saturation

- Move the Saturation slider to about -30

- Move the Hue slider to about 180, this creates a dark blue, somewhat sea-like effect

Step 8: Admire

The last step is to simply admire this absolute beauty of a picture that you can do in less than 10 minutes
