- Well Sam I started by isolating the hockey player and saved it as a PNG.
- Opened a black background
- Opened the scratched ice background and placed it over the black one, applied perspective, made an elliptical selection, featered it. Made a layer mask and with a dust brush 'deleted' some of the featered border.
- Opened the 'snow on ice picture and placed it on the scratched ice layer, applied a layer mask and brushed away an arc. Lowered down a bit the opacity.
- On a new layer with the dust brush in white I placed the ice dust on the arc.
- Placed the player, applied several times NIK filter HDR (ctrl+F), reduced the saturation to near 0, layermask to reveal the head.
- Placed the shadow in multiply , blurred and reduced opacity.
- On a new layer placed some more ice dust in the field (click once in light grey, move up a very tiny bit, press x to change to white and click again - otherwise the ice dust would be invisible)
- Made the plexiglass a bit transparant, add reflection
- Dodge a lot to enhance the light parts.
- Made a snapshot (ctrl+shift+alt+E)
- Played with raw filter
That's about it in a nutshell
