This is a composite. The background and the man were separate photos at separate locations taken in different years.

I wouldn't expect you to give away the secrets to your technique but I sure would appreciate a push in the right direction. Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

The background is shot separately and the person is cutout from another photo using the selection tools in Photoshop CS4. At least that's the way I do it. Please proceed, Governor.

That's a whole different ballgame. I wrote up a tutorial on how I did the backgrounds when I guest blogged on Planet Neil.

That might provide a really subtle and effective DOF, that would sell it even more! --

That might provide a really subtle and effective DOF... Really nice work. That would be another good option but I was thinking about going in the complete opposite direction. For example, in the Wine Time photo on the OP's Flikr (I'd copy the picture but don't want to without permission), I think it would be cool to merge multiple photos with different focal lengths so that everything is in perfect crisp focus. Similar to the effect of an HDR photo, I think the super-focus effect really makes the image look surrealistic.
