First i made a selection around the bulb with the pen tool. After that erased the background. Then i copied all into a new channel and inverted it.

Then is chose image---> adjustment-->levels and took out the highlights untill i got something like this

Then ctrl click on the channel to select it, turn rgb on. Go to layers and delete the selection. Now the bulb is smudgy but clear.

Then i played around with some image adjustments to make the brownish color white.

Then i noticed that the screw part of the bulb was almost transparent, so i masked it from the color corrected bulb and cropped a fresh one from the background.

Then i made a group, and called it spare parts. I cropped the two staves, the glow spiral, the base and the glass hole in case i needed it. Everytime i would need a part i copied it from this group.

Then clone the inner part of the bulb and rotate and flip it to match. Mask out some of the overlap to make it more transparent and distort it to fit.

To close the bulb at the bottom is a pain though. I copied the top part of the bulb twice, and made sure i had a round part at the bottom and at the top on two seperate layers. Decide if the perspective is up or down and make the right one light and make the opposite side less visible. Mask out some of the overlap inbetween those lines.

Make arms and legs out of the spare parts group.

the after some assembly (IKEA?) i got this as a result.

I almost wanted to enter it like this, it looks so beautiful on black. I love the glass part of it.

Then the idea was born, forgetting in my enthousiasm the proper english term for a non light emitting bulb is off. In dutch we would say something that translates as out. Hence the name.

I scaled and copied it, flipped it and started to add shadows on a multiply layer and highlights on a screen layer (blend modes) and played with the opacity.

Add the bow, and apply a drop shadow to it.
I also played around with the levels adjustment to make it darker and fit the scene more.

Added i reflection of the right one in the water (tiny) and some more show around the feet to match the scene.

Apply a cool photofilter and the background

Then lastly, i tried to add a lens blur. But it didn;t do much on this background. I also added some black shading at the left.
