First of gate and fence is put into place. It went from the pink color to gold by taking out the magenta, adding a lot of yellow, and working with color/balance and saturation until the gold color was achieved.
step 6 of 9
Sections of gate and fence are added with (alt) key to duplicate them and scaled down to add to gates.
step 7 of 9
Maller portions of design are duplicated here and added to fence sections. Some are reversed using the edit/transform/flip horizontal tool. When all are in, the 'merge down' tool is used to join parts together.
step 8 of 9
Here I decided I didn't like the gold gate and fence with the building in my background photo, so I found one I liked better and added it in a layer over the other one, masking out much of its background.
step 9 of 9
Finally, trees were merged together using the clone tool and foreground steps were darkened to give better background to the gate and fence.
