Death Where The Bad Rocks Live by C.M. Wendelboe is a murder mystery set on an Indian Reservation in the badlands of South Dakota. For the cover I created a montage by merging a table top still life (foreground) with a stock photo (background). The hardest part, though, was convincingly blending the hanging Dreamcatcher, shot separately, with the rest of the montage.
