Shadow Dancing

To create this image, I used many techniques. I used the magic wand to move the shadow image of the girl into larger image with the background. I then used the transform tool to scale the image down to the right size. I also used the transform tool to flip the image of the shadow horizontally. By using the opacity slider, I was able to make the shadow lighter. I then used the gaussian blur under the filter bar. Lastly, I used the soft-edged brush to create a shadow on the sidewalk and add a visual effect.
