Step 15
Take the balcony part from the original photo and place it at the left edge of our main image:
Step 16
I used Curves to darken the balcony:
On this layer mask use a soft black brush to reduce the darkness on the following parts:
Step 17
I use another Curves adjustment layer to brighten the front part of the balcony and apply brushing on this layer mask:
Step 18
I used Hue/Saturation to reduce the saturation of the balcony:
On this layer mask I used a soft black with the opacity from 20% to 100% to restore the saturated light on the balcony front:
Step 19
I used Photo Filter to add some purple tone to the balcony:
Step 20
To refine the light and shade of the balcony I used the Dodge and Burn Tool on a new layer:
Step 21
Isolate the model from the background and place her onto the balcony area:
Add a mask to the model layer and use a hard black brush to remove the lower part of her dress and make her look like standing inside the balcony:
Step 22
I used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer for the model. On this layer mask use a soft black brush to erase the effect on the model front:
Step 23
I used Color Balance to add some purple tone to the model. Also apply brushing on the front of the head, dress and hair to keep some sun highlight there:
Step 24
I used Curves to brighten the model. On this layer mask use a soft black brush to clear the light effect behind and on the left to make a nice contrast:
Step 25
To add more highlight to the model hair, face, dress and shoulder I used the Dodge tool:
Step 26
Open the tree 1 and 2 images. As they have a transparent background so simply drag them into our document using the Move Tool. I've placed them at the two edges of the pic:
Step 27
Apply Gaussian Blur with 8 px to the trees:
Step 28
Select the tree layers and press Cmd/Ctrl+G to make a group for them. Change the mode of this group from Pass Through (default group mode) to Normal 100%. Make a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer on the top of the layers within this group:
Step 29
I used Curves to darken the trees and apply brushing on this layer mask:
Step 30
Open the tree 3 image. Isolate the tree at the top right and place it at the top left of our working image:
Step 31
I used Hue/Saturation to change the color of this tree:
Step 32
I used Color Balance with the same purpose, also darken it:
Step 33
Extract the birds and place them at the right of the scene (the horizon area):
Apply Gaussian Blur with 2 px to them:
Step 34
Create a Gradient Map adjustment layer on the top:
Lower this layer opacity to 20%:
Step 35
Use Color Balance to increase the vibrance of the scene:
Step 36
I used another Gradient Map adjustment layer to add more warm tone to the pic:
Lower the opacity of this layer to 20% and apply brushing on the top of the sky and the left of the balcony:
Step 37
I used Levels to darken the scene:
Step 38
Make a Vibrance adjustment layer to enhance the whole effect:
