Ok let's start
first of all i open a image of mine
step 2 of 10
second I duplicated layer 1 and desaturated with Hue/Saturation
step 3 of 10
next step was to create a brush from my photo
step 4 of 10
...and name it "sky" :)
step 5 of 10
with my new brush I start to create the sky...doge and burn+brightness and contrast +eraser tool involve in this step and I obtain the image below
step 6 of 10
the rest part was easy :) ...ruins added
step 7 of 10
now for the color of the sky I crate a new layer (at the end I merge with "sky" layer) and with a very soft brush I start to paint with 3 or 4 color set blending mode to "color and low opacity to 45...like I sad I merge them with "sky" layer ...image below
step 8 of 10
...tree added
step 9 of 10
...light and shadow+brightness and contrast
step 10 of 10
and in the end I create a "ray of light" layer (render->clouds,blur->radial blur method zoom, best, 100) inverted and set blend mode normal
that's was all
I DIDN'T STEAL ,I CREATE :)
