Step 73
To the leaf on model feet, I made shadow for it with Drop Shadow effect. Double click this leaf layer, choose Blending Options:
Step 74
I used Curves with Clipping Mask to darken and brighten some separate leaves (darken the one inside and brighten the ones outside the cave).
Step 75
Group all the leaves layers around the cave, name it "cave". Create a Curves layer to darken all of these leaves:
Step 76
I added a Curves layer with same purpose:
Step 77
Group all groups "sky", "hill", "cave" and change the mode to Normal 100%. Make a Hue/Saturation layer to change color of all the leaves in these groups:
Step 78
Add another Curves to darken more some leaves at the lower positions:
Step 79
Use Levels to brighten leaves at the higher positions:
Step 80
Make leaves selection as done with branches heart (step 66).
Step 81
Make a new layer on the top. Load leaves selection (as done in step 53) and click Add layer mask button. We have result on its layer mask:
Step 82
Create a Gradient Map layer on the top:
Step 83
Add a Color Balance layer:
Step 84
Make a new layer on the top. Hit G to active Gradient Tool. Choose Radial Gradient with default colors (black and white). Drag a line from the top to bottom to get this result:
Step 85
Continue with a new layer and soft black brush. I lowered opacity and flow to about 10-25% and painted on some parts below. Change the mode of this layer to Soft Light 100%:
Step 86
On a new layer, use brush with color #faa560 to paint on the top center of the sky. I altered the mode to Overlay 100%:
Step 87
Add a Photo Filter on the top:
Step 88
More with Gradient Map:
Step 89
I used Color Balance again :
Step 90
Create a Curves layer to increase contrast of the pic:
Step 91
On a new layer, use brush with color #fff8be to paint over the hill to make it brighter with yellow light. Set the mode to Soft Light 80%:
Step 92
With same brush, I painted on a small part to make it a bit brighter. Change the mode to Soft Light 50%:
Step 93
New layer with brush color is #ebb356. Paint over the hill to give some light red there. I put the mode of it to Color 40%:
