East Mars Freight Railroad

On a recent NatGeo program "Milky Way", they used some stunning video manipuations. I thought I would give their technique a try on a train photo. First, I shot Eastside Freight Railroad SW1200 #109 on 7 Oct 2010 at Maltby, WA. I took two NASA photographs and combined them into one to make the "sky." Then I cut #109 from the original photo and pasted it to the base of the NASA photos. The dirt in the foreground and just behind the locomotive came from an Apollo 17 photograph of the moon, which I also go from NASA.
Where's the little green engineer? How about a far side of the moon? Love the imagination and the way you tied all together.
