Dood, How do you do this?, this is awesome.
some advice:
the rocks arent cut out properly. you could see white around its edges. you should also have more variety between the rocks from the looks of it.. it looks like you just kept flipping them horizontally. the glaring light in the middle is distracting and its not how the lighting should be. also if the rocks are floating there should be a shadow reflecting on the ground. finally take out the text photo manips dont need your name in the middle of it
Nice idea and a good start to maniping.
Issues that could do with some work is your rendering of images. The rock edges are not that great.
Rendering can be hard spech when you have to do with trees and such. Never be afraid to spend most of your time on a piece doing the rendering and with trees or vegitation you can also take a new layer and with a small soft brush clone areas of the BG that are not cut out nice. Also using a soft brush you can always then add some dots here and there in say the same greens or browns used in the tree/vegitation.
Unoriginal idea, you didnt cut out well, lighting is wrong, colours need work, however if your just starting out this is the right way to go :)
