1) Select a mask in the shape of window and fill in the selection with the color gradient of color combination #fabe1c and #faa41c as shown.

step16

2) To illustrate that the light is emerging from the window we need to create a glow effect. Using the Brush Tool of radius paint the color #fabe1c and reduce the Opacity to.

step16-1

Step 17

In this step we will create fog around the scarecrow.

Create a new layer and paint the fog as shown using the Fog Brushes with the white color selected.

Step 18

In this step we will be concentrating on maintaining the Depth Of Field (DOF). Refer the " " tutorial for detailed information on DOF.

1) As we can observe that the farm house is located far from the scarecrow we need to add a Gaussian Blur of Radius 1.1px.

step18

2) Assume that the tree is located a bit closer to the scarecrow. The objects closer to the focused object appear slightly blurred hence add a Gaussian Blur of Radius 0.8px to the tree.

step18-1

Step 19

A spooky scene is never complete without a full moon, hence we are going to create a full moon in this step.

1) Cut the image of the Moon from its original image and import it onto the working canvas and place it as shown.

step19

2) To maintain the DOF of the scene add a Gaussian Blur of Radius 1.0px to the moon.

step19-1

3) Now color correct the moon using the Curves to blend with the scene perfectly.

step19-2

Step 20

Usually when there is a full moon we can find few clouds reflecting the light from the moon. Hence we are going to paint white clouds in this step.

-With the white color selected paint some clouds in the sky as shown using the clouds brushes.

Step 21

A scarecrow scene is always incomplete without a crow. Hence in this step we are going to create a crow in the scene.

1) Select a rough mask around the Crow using the Magic Wand Tool(W), then open the Refine Edge option (Select>Refine Edge) and grace the edges of the crow using the Refine Radius Tool to get the refined and detailed edges of the crow.

step21
step21-1

2) Now place the image of the crow on the working canvas as shown.

step21-2

Step 22

In this step we will be using both Motion Blur and Gaussian Blur, because the crow is not just far from the scarecrow but also flapping its wings by some speed. Hence we need to add Motion Blur to show that the wings are in motion.
