Description
Took approximately 16hrs.This is for a wonderful competition running at the moment. [link]
It is my first contest regarding this, I hope I put enough work into it! Anyway! When I read the lyrics to "Somewhere only we know" I thought of this scene. If he ever visited it in his saddest moments.
It's A3 sized.
Using the lyrics of Keanes 'Somewhere Only We Know'.
The images used where from screen caps of Doctor Who both show and pictures taken during filming.
The Jacket was used from [link] here.
Photography of the beach are real advertisement pics of Southerndown beach (DΓ₯rlig Ulv-Stranden).
Made the sun myself as well as the silhouettes and shadows.
The entire work has been re-touched painted, edited cropped, cut skewed, etc etc that very little remains of the original footage.
BBC owns Doctor Who.
UPDATE- Edited light outside and inside
UPDATE- Added Sun
UPDATE-Worked on shadows and re-coloured sand and re-positioned tennant
UPDATE-Worked on lighting on the font and touched up with structure
UPDATE-Worked more with lighting.

Let me put in my two cents if you don't mind. If light is hitting the two figures from the front, hitting them on the shoulder (because they are looking at each other), the shadow would be doing that unless there is another light source that we do not see. The shadow should be directly on the other side of them going in the same direction towards the main figure.

The main light source is the sun. I know that the shadows really should be more or less diagonal but i needed a slight angle so that they wouldn't just disappear behind the main character.

I only have one thing to note having seen this up close.
LIGHTING!!!
Well, that is, the lighting on the Doctor. The image you used for him is backlit, yet the greater light source in the image is proven to be the sun (otherwise the lighting on the text would be much brighter and the edging wouldn't be black.
Make an overlay/softlight layer and darken the center of his back, and then lighten the very edges of him, preferably with a yellow tint instead of a white.

It looks very strange as it kinda mixes with the sand, come over some time and try it.

Hrm *tries to think of something helpful* Maybe you could do something inside the TARDIS too as far as lights... Maybe if the "Somewhere only we know" was adapted to look more like "Police Public Call Box" [link]

Yeah made the people and shadows

okay, so what I would suggest is fade the edges of the long shadows a tiny bit and make the long shadows a tiny bit transparent, just enough to barely see the sand below it

Thank you for that, really appreciate it! Will try it out
