I think this is done now..... maybe. The quail was photographed behind the house standing on a utility box.

I think I'm getting close to where I want to go with this image.

Same as the previous image but not desaturated. A bit punchier.

The original image of Monument Valley had a very bland, light blue sky. I used layer masks in Photoshop to hide the existing sky and brought in a new one with clouds being lit up by a sunset. Fitting since the original was created at sunset. I then added two layers with Petroglyphs photographed at Canyon de Chelley and played with blending modes until I got them where I wanted them and then brought the opacity down. Finally I added a film texture over the top and did a little bit of dodge and burn in a couple of places.
