Step 31

All colors are taken from the bird by using the Eyedropper Tool (I). If your version of the bird is different in color and the lighting model should be changed to match the reflection of the light source.

Step 32

With lighting, we finished and we can proceed to the hair. I traced each strand of hair to make them stand out and emphasize reflection. All manipulations were carried out with the hair on the same layer but different colors. Create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + N), with a Brush Tool (B) (Soft Round brush, Size: 5 - 7px, Opacity: 50% ), apply from mid-tones (#292228 and #352b34) and then add a little shadow (#1f1b1f) and highlight to the lock using the lightest color (#5a4958).

Step 33

Let's return to the group "Foreground", select all dragonfly layers, right-click on layers> Convert to Smart Object. Add a style "Inner Glow" and "Outer Glow" ("Fx" icon at the bottom of layer panel or go to Layer > Layer Style > Inner Glow/Outer Glow). In the window that appears set Blend Mode to "Color Dodge", Opacity to 41%, Size to 21px. Go to the tab "Outer Glow" and increase Opacity to 46%, Size to 24px and click OK to apply styles.

Step 34

Duplicate this dragonfly layer (Cmd/Ctrl + J or go to Layer > Duplicate layer...), again convert it to Smart Object and duplicate it. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur... Apply Angle: 19 degrees, Distance: 22 pixels. This filter will make the effect of flight for dragonflies. Move this layer under the original dragonflies.

To make the glow from dragonflies, more and saturated, add to a copy the filter "Gaussian Blur" with Radius: 70 pixels and change layer Blending Mode to "Color Dodge".

You can also add a few flying sparks near dragonflies. Take Brush Tool (B) with the brush from Step 20, Size: 10px, color #dcc3ed, and on a new layer draw near dragonflies.

Step 35

In this mysterious place has to be the fog. It will emphasize the mystery and drama. To not use a brush we make a realistic fog with the help of Photoshop. Create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + N) with Blending Mode "Screen" ("Fill with Screen - neutral color (Black)"). Reset foreground and background colors to default (D). Go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Now a little decrease layer Opacity to 75% and Fill to 80%.
