As I was leaving the convenience store the moody sky struck me, so I stopped and took a snap. Every once in awhile, I like taking nothing kind of photos like this. Its scenes you see everyday and just ignore as you pass through the same location. Like background noise you tune out.

Photo: Mine
Notes: Creating 5 rectangles with the Shape Tool, adding a drop shadow and clipping a copy of the photo to each rectangle, I played around with the placement until I was satisfied. I chose artsy paper 4 for the background. Underneath the clipping sets I brought in the overlay and clipped a solid paper to it, changing the color of the paper to match the sky of the photo. Directly over the overlay/paper set, I added art strokes and a word art transfer along with the title.
Over the photo I added the cool glow and using a layer mask, brushed away the part of the glow that overlapped the building. I added the dimensional elements to the left side of the photo, warping the clip shadow a bit. On the right side I added a tape and blended to Linear Burn.
The birds were added to the mix along with the paper texture, which finished the page.
