 Inspired by my trip last week to Laos where I took the background image.

Dressed Woody in some bright orange plastic I cut up from a pancho cover. Shot him in backyard to try & match the lighting when I shot the temple ruins but today is a lot brighter than that cloudy day.

Merged the 2 images in PS, burned in a little shadow. Then shot my monitor in a pitiful attempt to make this legal and cropped & adjusted this image with a little levels & curves.

I love the idea, but the way it fits with the background does not quite come off well. Like a blue screen.

nice concept, i think it would be better if woody was facing the statue and maybe more of a square crop
