Step 23

I use 5 vine layers to add to the well:
sunrise23

Step 24

Group all vine layers. Use Color Balance and Curves for them:
sunrise24
Erase on Curves layer mask the roof part and the left side of the well:
sunrise24a

Step 25

Open fence stock. I take these stakes:
sunrise25
Arrange them and use layer mask to blend them with the ground:
sunrise25a

Step 26

Make shadow for these stakes as done in previous steps:
sunrise26

Step 27

Create group for these layers, I name it “fence parts 1”. Make a new layer within this group and use Clone Tool to remove unecessary parts:
sunrise27

Step 28

Apply Color Balance and Curves for these fence parts:
sunrise28
I use black brush on Curves layer mask to make approriate light and shadow of the fences. You can see how I applied this step on layer mask and result on picture:
sunrise28a

Step 29

I use a Curves layer with Clipping Mask for the one near the right corner of foreground to darken it more:
sunrise29
Remove the dark effect on the left of this stake:
sunrise29a

Step 30

Take another parts of the fence from original stock and position them horizontally. I use Warp tool to bend them a little to avoid a rigid look:
sunrise30

Step 31

Make shadow for the parts that can be seen on this picture:
sunrise31

Step 32

Create group for these layers, name it “fence parts 2”. I use Curves to darken them:
sunrise32
Erase the parts that are shone by the sun:
sunrise32a

Step 33

With the fence part near the right of foreground I use a Curves layer (Clipping Mask) to darken it more:
sunrise33
Apply a mask for this adjustment layer:
sunrise33a

Step 34

To add more contrast to this picture, I make a new layer on the top, active Gradient Tool (G). I choose Radial Gradient with default colors (black and white):
sunrise34
Change the mode to Soft Light 100% and use layer mask to remove or reduce dark contrast on some parts below:
sunrise34a
sunrise34b

Step 35

Create some adjustment layer on the top:Color Balance:
sunrise35
Selective Color:
sunrise35a
Hue/Saturation:
sunrise35b
On Color Balance layer mask I use black brush to remove or reduce the blue on the parts below:
sunrise35c
sunrise35d

Step 36

Go to Layer-New Fill Layer-Solid Color and pick color #3c9265. I change the mode of this fill layer to Color 10%. This step is too reduce “hot saturation” and add some subtle green to the whole scene.

On its layer mask, erase the left side:

    I started downloading everything so I could do this tutorial, even signed up for another site. But then it wants a credit card!! Sorry, not gonna happen.

    So I deleted all the downloads and forgot about this tutorial.

    Note to authors… just cause you’re a member of a stock site, doesn’t mean the rest of us want to be. Verify the images are truly free!

    Every link to sxc.hu redirects to a broken link on freeimages.com. Is there any way to find those images?

    Agreed with the stock photos. It’s too hard to download them and easier to google it. On one hand, free stock photos are free. But on the other, they always disappear. So I am not sure whether I prefer paid or free stock photos. But I wish there are more tutorials where the writer provides their own so that there are no problems like these.

    I have to agree with other viewers regarding the images used. I’ve had to join 2 more sites to obtain the individual images. Free Stock Images are not free. Get one free, but pay for the rest????!!!!! http://www.sxc.hu is the best one; I’ve been a member for years; but the sunset……..waiting for owner to send permission to use Ha!

    To create this tutorial, it would have been easier to google the images. I’ve wasted over an hour so far trying to get the images and I’ve still not had chance to fire up Photoshop yet. I might have to give this tut a miss. Nice end image; but the image resource gathering lets it down big time!!

    I’m also waiting for the permission request to be answered. As for the path, google and you’ll find several stone paths that can be used to replace the paid image.

    Great image.
    It’s a shame I have to wait to get my request answered on the stock site for the landscape before I can do it.
    I’m also struggling to get the path picture. When I click on it, it keeps taking me to a page and asking me to pay. I can’t work out how to get it for free.
