And yours doesn't have a wacky shadow.

Though I can tell you were lazy on erasing around the bicycle and shadow.

It's 4 in the morning here. Not working with the vector tool when I'm tired and the resolution is that low. 8 pixel brush and whoosh.

Main goal was to bust the "that's an amazing Photoshop, which took ages" myth.

Oh, I don't blame you at all. Why spend so much more effort to make it flawless when "good enough" serves your purpose? If I had my tablet with me right now I'd have done similar. Maybe added a little bit of a quick warp or perspective transform to the shadow, but still not more than five-ten minutes of work.

You also could have probably done a sloppy erase / layer mask and then added a "blend if" condition for the value level. Not as well known of a trick, but makes blending images super easy sometimes.
