Taking selection of the stones I constructed the fingers, cutting and cloneing various parts being sure to keep natural highlight and shadows in tact.
step 3 of 6
Used same method for other hand using oposite lighting, added stone head source and applied shadow using burn tool.
step 4 of 6
added shadows on a new layer using a black soft brush and lowered opacity to suit.
step 5 of 6
duplicated entire image, on one layer I increased brightness & on the other layer decreased brightness.
Using a soft eraser on top layer I removed the parts I wanted to be highlighted.
step 6 of 6
added model source, removed brightness & used a mixture of blur, burn and dodge to adjust lighting, used small eraser set at 50% opacity to semi remove the transparent parts of the dress.
