When I visited Anza Borrego State Park in 2006, I shot the background photo. I shot the second image in downtown Santa Cruz. It is the reflection of a store window. I chose a theme of complimentary color scheme. The desert color of the earth and sky are natural opposite colors in the color wheel. To increase contrast I darkened the earth and sky colors using the curve function. For the middle image, I placed the city scene in front of the hiker like a mirage, by adjusting selection edge with increased radius and feather effect. I made it transparent with opacity control. There are two contrasts here: sky and earth, and desert and city. The hiker is my friend, Fleur.
