step 7 of 9
Now I started to adjust the colors, contrast, lightning etc.
And for the details I gave the airplanes and helicopters motion blurs.
Beleave me, It was a lot of work for such small details. Used about 3 layers for just 1 helicopter !
step 8 of 9
Decided I wanted a different sky. Masked away all the parts I didn't need. That was Really REALLY a lot of work!
After that, I created a shadow for the women and for the soldier with the brush tool. I
also added a few more details.

step 9 of 9
