To adjust only BIG FLASH and not the whole image create clipping mask from this adjustment layer.

After this step your image should look like the one below.

Step 21 - Small Flash

According to me the picture would look more balanced if there is one more smaller flash near the woman.

Right click on the BIG FLASH and select the option Duplicate Layer... . Name this new layer SMALL FLASH. Press Ctrl + T on your keyboard and make flash smaller. Move it on the same place as you can see on the preview picture.

To blend the layer properly add new adjustment layer Levels above it and set the Input Levels on 62; 1,00; 255 as in the previous step. Create clipping mask too.

You don't want to this flash look completely the same as the big one. It would be weird because in nature you won't see the exactly same things. To add some variability you'll flip it and then use Warp to change its shape.

To flip the SMALL FLASH go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

Then go to Edit > Transform > Warp. The gridd will appear. Adjust it to change the shape of flash and then press Enter on your keyboard to apply these changes.

On the following picture you can see how the manipulation looks so far.

Step 22 - Adding Rain

In this step you'll finally add the last missing element - rain. Download the rain brushes and install them into Photoshop.

Create a new layer on the top of all layers and name it RAIN. Grab the Gradient Tool (G) and fill the layer with solid black color. Change its Blending Mode on Screen. It's not necessary to do that, you can paint rain directly on empty layer. But if you fill it with black you can switch from Screen to Normal Blending Mode to see exactly where you paint the rain and be able to correct mistakes easily.

To get realistic result don't paint the rain over the whole image. Below you can see where I painted it to get some inspiration. (The layer has Normal Blending Mode.)

Another very important thing to get realistic result - you should have all the parts of the rain in the same direction.

After this step your image should be similar to the following one.
