Glasses have been added to nun, and poster edge filter has been used on the background rooftop and buildings after merging them into single layer. This filter was used to take away the realistic photo look to better match the fact that the nun (and birds later) are not looking photographic, but brush created.

Birds have been added, and motion blur added. Nun has been duplicated, then motion blur added to the duplicated image. Some light airbrushing has been done over background buildings to soften them.
