Description
This manipulation is based on a photo of Sari taken by her brother in 2011, featuring an outfit inspired from Tomb Raider Legend. The photo formed Sari's deviation Lara Croft jump and I've been wanting to make something with it for ages, because it's such a great action pose and I think of it as one of her classics.

Basically I've extracted and edited Sari, and put her against a new background made from two of my own photos. One provided the basic scenery (flipped to better match her pose), and the other contributed some nice sky. I've tried to make it look like she's jumping down off a low cliff edge - to dish out some hurt, obviously. To try and get her to fit into the scene convincingly, I brightened her up a lot and added a sunlight effect, especially on her skin (she was in shade in the original photo). There was a lot of other editing too, to try and bring out detail and generally sharpen things up.

PS: Actually I also used the photo once before, namely on the cover of the smash hit Xbox videogame Codename Saricroft . Check it out!
