Butcher me!

BEFORE


1. I removed a sheep because it wasn't grazing, and then went to another picture and extracted the sheep and two lambs from it, pasting it in here.
it was really hard hetting them to look the same as the original sheep. because they were shot at different parks. I had to use a screening brush to make the new sheep look yellower/browner
i then got rid of the lambs because they loked a bit fake.

2. changed the kayak to red

3. did a gradiated "hard light" on the sky.. but not the grass.. then boosted saturation in the grass

4. boosted saturation in the bikes to bring a bit more attention to them
let me know if you're not convinced,
truth be told - i'm not fully satisfied that this is quite right... but fairly happy i got the sheep looking pretty close

what are you doing playing with sheep anyway?! This is the sort of thing that gives kiwi/aussie men a dodgy reputation!

Hey I just recently read a tutorial on pretty much what you just described you had difficulty with:

The sheep doesn't look unrealistic, though the shadow is a bit shorter? But overall it looks like it was there! On my monitor your grass/sky is too intense, but the sheep are good
