True love
only spent 20 minutes on it, I have to go to work 
but here ya go... might do a better one some time.
(for Sirch, see how the storm looks bright, thats because it doesnt match the light in the tent pis, I added a shadow on the left side, but it needs more blending. Also, the mountain bike needs removing properly using cutting, erasing and clone stamping rather than just painting over it with the ground mat colour. I also wanted the storm on its side so I could edit the guys arm round it, but dont have a pic at the right angle, I'll find one that I can play with using transform >> rotate/skew/perspective and scale to make it fit.)

many thanks for the extra info 
Cheers,

I'm working at the minute, so don't have much time, but I'm gonna do a proper "firestorm" version, even though the original pic is still top 
If you want Sirch, when I have the proper time to spend (I'd spend at least 4 hours on it, easy) I'll do some step by step screenies to show how I built it.
Also, I didn't mention in my "photoshop advice" PM, get a graphics tablet. They're cheap as chips now and make drawing round stuff and fiddly drawing way easier.

Kitch when you do have the time if can do some step by step screenies that would be excellent, thanks for the advice on the graphics tabletKitch wrote:I'm working at the minute, so don't have much time, but I'm gonna do a proper "firestorm" version, even though the original pic is still top

I prefer this one. Its a little more subtle.
Spent a little more time on it so the storm looks more like it's part of the original picture.
(not too difficult to do, just take the time to pick a good source image, take the time to cut out the bits you want neatly, and take the time to rotate and scale it, then take the time to tidy it up and blend it in using eraser, clone stamp and for this one, I used filter > noise > add noise to lower the "quality" of the storm to match the slightly grainy digital phone camera shot of the original tent picture. After looking at the screenies I took like I said I would, it didnt convey very well what I wanted to get across, and good-tutorials explains things so much better image "manipulation" and "compositing" are recommended web searches for good ideas and examples - I'd like to reposition the guys arm and do some better shadows for the storm on the ground mat and some other fluff, but I'm not in a painting mood, and its hard to do unless you're really up for it)
