Made a reflection for the bull, took the curly rug part of the source and made difference clouds for the sky, warped the strap for the foreground, and finally, painted a layer behind the bull and buildings with a deep blue, then orange to give it a soft glow. Added a couple of "snorts" to the bull for good measure.
