Gaining more knowledge of light editing, by creating a window cast light using a radial blur on the zoom setting, some erasing and multiple layers of Linear Dodge (Add).

Learned how to mask a photo onto a text using a clipping mask to create a text graphic, and learned how to find a drop shadow on the Blending Options screen.

Learned how to used rasterized text layers and posterization to create an interesting shading effect. Used color overlay modes to distinguish important parts of image.

Practiced shape tools, merge visible on the full shape creation, controlled rotations (SHIFT), magic wand and marquee tool to move around the shapes. 

The shadow is not completely realistic, blurred it to give the effect of it just being cast behind due to no visible light source to make it go down.  Used layer masks, blurs, image transforms and the color match effect to make this appear to be one image.
