Rhythm

For both of the Pictures, I used layer masks. I used the magnet lasso tool to cut around the bodies and shadows, and then just dragged them into the backgound layer. I postioned them so that they look realistic in thier setting. Both of the pictures where taken in Dallas Texas.

Edited Portraits

The 2 top pictures of my firnds Anna and Mindy, I used Surface Blur to even the skin tones. And then for the bottom one, I used a Light effect and I also used the curves to give it some extra shadow.
