Original image

step 1 of 5

I cuted multiple times building parts and putting them together to make look something i wanted.

step 2 of 5

Next i did is burning the shadows with "Burn tool" to achieve little dramatic look. Bottom of the image i smudged with "Smudge tool" in the way to make it look like a kind of a grass. It will "mask" bottom and make it look little better.

step 3 of 5

In this step i removed some parts that my come in my way of the image i am making. I also removed everything from the sea (or lake). Mostly i used "Clone stamp tool" to cover up unwanted details.

step 4 of 5

Here i tried to put it all together to look like something relatively good. I used here "Free transform tool". And i covered some details from source image (background image) with "Clone stamp tool" which look bad in whole image.

step 5 of 5

Here i used alot of "Dodge tool" and "Burn tool" (dodge on highlights, burn on shadows), and some clone stamping to parts that look better in my opinion (rocks under building, clouds). Little more dodging, burning, makeup... and here u go---> Final image :D

Final result
