Process:
Placed large undersea photo to completely fill the background layer; then added photo of man's face in the rock on top of BG layer. Used a large soft eraser brush (set at 100%) to soften top and bottom edges of that layer.; changed eraser brush to 40% opacity and soften top edges more. Then changed to opacity of the Man Face layer to about 70%. Added Ocean waves element over the bottom edge of Man Face.
On a blank page added man on shell, large shell, golden plant, and trimmed leaf element to fit over the appropriate area of the man. Added shadows to all. Placed this cluster on top of Man Face and ocean waves layers and simplified it then locked transparent pixels.. Used eyedropper to pick up turquoise color; selected the cluster and filled it at 10% to give it an undersea look; changed the opacity of the cluster to 87%. so it blended in a bit more.
Placed octopus and fish elements in place; added shadows; then changed opacity of each to about 30% - 50% so they blended into scene.
Added title and used the PSE horizontal wave shape to it.
Selected and simplified all elements and paper layers.
Linked all layers together and reduced size leaving an empty border area; added dark paper as bottom layer for the border.
