Description
The amazing BG - by tetrasnake. But I had to crop the image dramatically to obtain high enough horizon line. Then I blew up the small remaining BG image and applied noise removal in PS. Then went the first render with a white floor plane and with the invisible G2F (but she could cast shadows). The obtained shadows were applied to the BG (second layer in PS, mode - multiply), then shadow color correction was performed to get the perfect match with the colors of the real shadows of the photo. The created BG was used for the final render (import from DS4.6 into C4D - VRay render engine). The light - imitation of the reflected Sun light (from a window). And, of course, the Genesis 2 girl was surrounded by an invisible environment sphere (the same photo). Because human skin has certain reflectivity. And the sphere is used also by the Global Illumination. This way the skin and clothes of the girl get some tint from the street colors (so as to blend into the photo). Then, finally, some noise was applied to the whole image.
I put such a long text here as a short tutorial - it seems that even my very talented friends may find something useful :-).
Almost forgot - thanks for looking :-).

You did a great job with this image.. beautiful background and character :)
Love the DOF and the cutie :-)
Strange, when I saw the image the name Tetrasnake flashes immediately through my head. GRIN Then I read your story. Great Artwork overall and your explanation about the shadow is very helpful..
Very interesting explanation ! I will read it again tomorrow with a "fresh" head (being tired of the week of work !!) I like the pose and glare over a shouder, superb work and scene all together !
Great image and thanks for the info. I've been wanting to know how to blend a background with the subject seamlessly..
Wow!!... this came out AWESOME!!!....
Cool! She looks worried.
Excellent work
she blends very well into the environment, really great job. And... nice image anyway. thanks.
You made a great work for doing this image, the result is superb ! thank you for your explanations !
Indeed, a very fine work on the shadows for this image! Superb scene, i like her attitude, excellent work all together!
Awesome blending! Did I take that shot?
Yes you did :-).
Lot of mood
beautiful environment. The girl seems to be a little bit afraid of something, or maybe in that deserted street she feels someone hidden behind her. That a nice creation, I like its atmosphere.
Beautiful work. Thanks for the tut!
fabulous image and POV
Fantastic work!
Thank you for the mini-tutorial, and for this awesome image. It suggests so much suspense.
Gorgeous composition and beautiful render, Vadim.
with a babe like her walking down this street, should soon be filled.. hope she has a pistol.
Fantastic scene! You did a great job putting it all together.
Impressive ! This is absolutely superb, the integration is perfect. A big big bravo.
One can understand why she feels insecure. Interesting to know how it was cooked. Very well done.
Beautiful scene... but bad idea for her to walk on desert street
Very good POV and pose...
Great work here, it sounds a little bit complex to me, but thanks for the tip ;)
Hope she doesn't have to run in those shoes... :)
