So early this morning I read this thread while having my tea. Then I went about my day not giving it another thought. This evening I sat down remembered what I'd read. I pulled an image from the files and started working on it. This is my result.

I'm actually pretty happy and already thinking of how I might use similar techniques for an outdoor family of 14 I'm shooting in a couple of days.
I feel inspired by photographers who see more. Thanks for sharing.

Have been watching this guy for a while (Rarindra Prakarsa). If fact I thought he had joined this site when I saw an entry for "Metrocd" - similar style but not Rarindra.
He does have stuff on the "Mr X" site with a few fellow DCP (Terje and Joey Lawrence).
Amazing stuff I love the style that a number of Indonesian photographers use (even if it is heavily photoshoped).
Here's a link to Metrocd's one and only photo on this site -similar style

Curious, so if these are not real does the appeal of the "photos" diminish?
Edited for clarity
That's exactly what I've been thinking about lately. Can I use photoshop to make a beautiful photo but when people find out it is much different than the original will they all of a sudden think it is not as beautiful. Does ("honesty" (straight from the camera)) in photography like this matter? I am confused.
My philosophy on this is to just be open and honest about your work. Last thing you want to happen is people fall in love with your work but for all the wrong reasons. Then you have to keep lying to them to maintain your standard and that never works out well in the end. Bottom line is if you're good people will like you regardless so why lie to them?
Yeah I think that makes sense. If it's what I love doing go ahead and do it but don't lie and try to decieve people into believing a particular scene may have been "real".
