This is basically a mix of whats we call "fantasy art" and "dark/ gothic art"

want to mention in advance that this tutorial is mostly for more experienced users,
here we will need to use a lot of "hand work" and common sense; you will be working with your own images, and would need
to adjust to the "needs" of your landscape.
So, lets get started... make a new canvas - 600* 400.
Fill your background layer with any dark colour, we chose to do it with blue, but you can use black as well.

Take a picture of a girl... we used this one, from Liam Stock, free photo resource
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Select the cropped girl from your canvas, and paste it unto the blue fantasy canvas we will create.
Place her in the middle, not to close to the edge, as she will be our leitmotif.

Next step, you will need different photos in order to combine a landscape.
First off, a photo of a shore. We took a pic offered free by ~gladly.

Press ctrl + a to select the entire water scape, Ctrl + c to copy it, and then , when you go to the fantasy canvas - press Ctrl + V to paste it.
Be sure to place the water scape layer UNDER the layer with the girl. This is important, we placed the girl first in order to be able to see what proportion are we creating with the landscape, however, remember, that she shall always be the top later.

Using the Eraser tool, with soft edge, 40 or 50 px size, draw a line (horizon), which will he around the level of the main figure's eyes. This is ideally, but if you use a taller person, or not a sitting figure, of course you can draw the horizon wherever you wish.
In order to make sure that your line is straight, press the Shift button while pressing the mouth, this way, even if your hand will hove, the line will remain straight.

Now we need sky. Don't look for any spy picture, because we mostly need a horizon line (with mountains, or just a stroke of land) rather than mere clouds.
The hue of the picture is not important, all you need is a cloudy interface with a bit of land to symbolize the horizon.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Paste your clouds photo unto the fantasy canvas, UNDER the water scape layer.
The horizon line of the water has to be a little darker, so u can go back to the background later (blue canvas) and brush it with black or a darker blue hue.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Create a new layer.
Select a Round Brush with a sharp edge (do not use a soft edge here!) and Make a stamp near the figure, as shown on the picture below.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Set the opacity of the layer to "soft", to make it semi transparent. Using the eraser tool with a sharp edge, remove all the remains, so that it will look as if this sun (or moon, if u wish) will create the illusion or setting behind the hills / land line of the horizon.
See the illustration for understand it better, and once you have finished erasing, don't forget to set the blending options back to normal
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Go to Layer >>Layer Styles >> Blending options, and apply these settings for the outer glow effect. Don't skip this step, this is necessary to make an effect of shine and glow.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Select the water scape layer.
Go to Filter >> Renders >> Lightening Effect.
Make a light spot, exactly on the place where the sun is... this will lit the water in front of the setting sun.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
This is what we got so far, beautiful water with a local lightening.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Select the layer with the cropped girl (main figure) and apply same spot lightening effect.
Its important to use same location for the spot, as we only have one sun here!
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
Set the blending options of the layer with the girl to "Luminosity", in order to give her same hue as the layers underneath her.
[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الروابط]
After the recent few steps, you canvas should look like this... If anything looks different - don't worry, in the end you might get even a better result than the example in this tut.

that is it, ur canvas is ready...
