nope. its ok. if u pump up the blues on the first photo u'd get it to look similar to the rest. so its just a matter of color balancing

very nice photos. but imho photoCHOP can do something similar rite???

if u go to grand canyon and take a few snaps of the cliffs, then in the studio of white background, take the tripod alone, then the person standing, leaping. use the lasso tool and feather to cut it. alternatively, use the magic wand and select the white background, invert selection.

meddle with the layers and colour. flatten the image and export as JPG  unsure.gif

theoretically yes...in practice, its far harder than it seems.

It's fake IMHO.

The shadows of the man and color tones seem a bit off when matched with the cliffs.

My 2 cents.

I quote myself

"if u pump up the blues on the first photo u'd get it to look similar to the rest. so its just a matter of color balancing"

not that i'm advocating the photos as the truth, but the color mismatch is nothing more than a simple balancing issue. Just look at the background in the first pic...dark tan right? just like the jeans in that photo. Pump up the blues in that pic and u get blue jeans and a bluish background...just like the rest of the series.
