step 10 of 16
Finished with the hills.
Added some other kind of grass in between the hills layers. It was very useful that I found this PNG transparent file on obsidian dawn. As a tip ....PNG files are very very useful as we don't have to mask them anymore. What I had to do though was to defringe them along the way (under layer/matting)

step 12 of 16
Here I added a funny sun.
You won't find this in the final result anymore as a lot of people commented that it didn't fit the image theme...so I decided to delete the glasses and the mouth and kept only the shape of the sun..

step 14 of 16
Here I have flipped the mushroom horizontal for composition purposes (to fill in the blank right side of the image).
Have created the little grass islands from the first initial grass selection, gave them some perspective and masked them to blend into the water.
Added some glow to the sun using outside glow, blending mode screen, then added some light beams underneath and a light yellow gradient map over the bottom part for highlights.

step 16 of 16
This is the final result after I erased the suns glasses and mouth.
As I flattened the image meanwhile and I didn't want to go through the whole lighting process...I used the clone tool and the healing brush tool to cover the glasses and the mouth with other clear yellow portions from the sun.
