I used the pen tool to create paths around most of the images, then made a selection from paths and applies a mask. From there I deleted the paths and edited the masks to clean up the edges. For the dog fur edges, I created a brush and painted in or out various areas of the dogs fur to try to get a more natural look to the masked cutout.
I used a custom symbol for the "NO" sign and the "Target Site" symbol, then created a custom symbol for the whale.
The original sign had a bicycle on it, I used a combination of content aware fill and smudge tool to remove the bicycle from the sign. To make the signs reflection, I duplicated the sign layers and merged them then grabbed the top center handle of the resulting layer and dragged it down to the bottom of the image. I reduced the opacity a little and added a slight ocean ripple from photoshops filters. To make the mans glasses opaque, I used different levels of dark to medium grey to brush away most of the shy that was i what would be the transparency of the glasses extending past his face.
Minor additional adjustments were made to all edges, and the Whale in the water was created much the same wy as the sign and it's reflection mentioned above. Hope you like it. :) (5 years and 2862 days ago)

Creative idea...I'd say zoning laws have already gone quite amock in most cities.
Please fix source links.
Link to the images.
Quick comments you can fix here, and important ones too:
1- Lighting direction shall be same for all the elements in the image, especially the dog's face.
2- The reflection of the sign pole and the wale's tale shall not be in perspective, it looks like a shadow more than a reflection; the reflection and the origin shall have the same size.
3- You need to add some ripples and disturbance to the water surface.
Eek! Second page.
Sorry, I deleted my other posts by accident, screen didn't refresh. I fixed the Source Links, and I agree with the light direction, but thin the length of reflection depends on the angle and closeness of the object. I guess I'm done editing on this one with what time is left. Thanks for your help just the same.
Can an SBS be in Written form only, or with arrows pointing to different parts of your final posted image describing what you did to achieve the results? Anyone?
Howdie stranger!
