Right now the branches look flat but you want them to have plastic 3D look. You'll fix it by adding layer style named Bevel and Emboss.

Click on the button "Add a layer style" which can be found in the bottom part of the palette Layers and select the option Bevel and Emboss...

To make hair more realistic looking you need to add some highlights to them. Select some soft round brush, set Master Diameter on 1 pixel and lower the Opacity on about 30%.

Hold Alt on your keyboard and select some light color from hairs. Paint the highlights similarly as on the following picture.

Step 15 - Darkening the Clouds

According to me clouds deserve more contrast because they should be heavy stormy clouds. Highlights are already fine, but shadows could use some adjustment. You'll use quite the same process as in the previous steps.

Add new adjustment layer Levels on the top of all layers and set the Input Levels on 0; 0,45; 255. Change its Blending Mode on Luminosity and fill the layer mask of this layer with black color.
