step 3 of 11
I placed the contest source image behind. So now one of the Pyramids and some desert is showing in the background. The blue sky will be replaced later as it is banding.
step 4 of 11
Added the Dancers, Moon, and wall graphic and text from source images. The wall in front of the Pyramid was cloned from the rock pile. Some boxes in the rock pile were removed also by cloning or patch tool. I left the tourist with the red hat in as she seems perfect for the concept.
step 5 of 11
Arm parts used from right arm to left arm, then rotated or flipped and placed in position.

step 7 of 11
Duplicated Blue Dancer and shadow then colored twin red using Color Select and Hue and Saturation adjustments. Place twin in image. Also tourist shadow and shadow below wall, which will be needed when streetlamp is lit.
step 8 of 11
Applied glows by adding a solid dark blue layer with multiply blend on top layer. Then build up various color dodge layers with yellows and oranges at various opacitys and fills in layers above
step 9 of 11
step 10 of 11
Extracted white points from star field source and applied to sky. Also, applied a faint white on soft-light blend to the Pyramid.
step 11 of 11
Used Oil Paint Texture from source. Made it into a seamless texture - then added as a pattern. Made a Composite smart object of everything and applied a Patter Overlay layer style blend mode Hard Mix, Opacity 10%, and scale 8%.
The result seemed to give the picture more body and richness.
