Those are 3 separate pictures (taken in the same time and in the same place) merged together in one composition. Original pictures were taken in Death Valley at sunset

  What did you use to merge the three?

  HI Allen,
To merge those pictures I used Photoshop CS2. At first I had to enlarge and crop the first picture (the one with a cloud where the girl is walking down with the backpack). My second step was to select people from the second picture (the one where the girl is passing her camera to the boy). I decreased the size of the figures and I placed them in the middle of my new composition. On the end I selected people and the ground from the last picture (the one where the boy is taking a picture) and I put it on the end of the composition.

  WOW! I read how you composed this ... and all I can say is, I wish I was this good. Was this a "happy accident" type of composition or did you know you were going to do this when you set out to take the picture. Really love it....
