Lion-beach, step by step

WHAT I'VE DONE

↪First, I changed the name of the photo to lleó-platja-Aitana Palau.xcf.
↪I cut the lion with the tool: scissors select tool. Then I copied and pasted the selection in a new layer, named lleó.
↪I changed the size of the lion with the scale layer.
↪I adjusted the color of the lion with the tool colors, brightness and contrast.
↪I blur the outline to look like more real with the smudge tool and dodge/ burn tool.
↪I duplicated the layer to create more lions and changed the size and the name of the layers.
↪I aplied some effects to the image: filters, lights and shadows, supernova.

↪Insert my name and the date with a new layer.
↪Finally I saved my work.
