I chose one of the more difficult images just for the challenge. Only the not-so obvious steps are in the sbs, the rest is just painting, masking, basic ps techniques. The leaves that are behind the girl in this final image are the ones from the background image. After the girl's hair was extracted, I did a little retouching on her face as well.
