Pool Background Edit

I’ve got a high-resolution action shot of a swimmer and a separate photo of a pool. I need the pool dropped in behind the athlete without regenerating or altering any of the swimmer’s original pixels—everything about the swimmer must stay exactly as shot.

You can composite, mask, and retouch as needed, but please match the lighting and colour balance of both images so they feel as if they were captured in the same moment. I’d like the swimmer placed near one edge of the pool rather than dead-centre; use careful perspective work so the horizon, waterline, and reflections feel natural.

Deliverables
• Layered PSD (with clean masks, adjustment layers, and editable colour work)
• A flattened, high-resolution JPEG or PNG ready for immediate use

If anything in the pool image needs subtle touch-ups—ripples, reflections, or shadows—feel free, as long as the final composite looks realistic and the swimmer remains untouched. Let me know your turnaround time and any questions you may have.
