Composites

I have started experimenting with composites
It really has come from paying for Photoshop proper and Lightroom after years of using basic free versions with limited editing potential.
And that comes from joining Ayr Photographic society which was the push I needed.
So i am just at the start of that journey of working with layers etc etc
I am keen to look at some older Landscape images and re edit them with these tools that are new to me. To edit sky and land separately.
However with street pictures I a find myself sometimes dissapointed with a background.
Editing it separately still sometimes doesnt make me happy with the result.
So I have started combining some of the pictures of people that i love
With one of my favourite elements in cities, alleyways
I love the bins, puddles, pipes and graffiti of alleys.
With experience I willl earn how best to position the person 
If indeed I am after 'realism' rather than some 'alternative realism'
