I selected the tree from an image offered by "pkv" on Deviantart.
I added the sky and clouds.
I selected the roof of an actual birds house and all the pairs of shoes in the source image.
I added the shoes and the roofs onto the branches.
Added different birds in different positions. Added chains to connect the little bird houses to the tree.
Colored, added shadows, added light beams, some adjustment layers (gradient map and brightness and contrast).

I hope you're not going to find it too dark for your taste as I kind of like it this way...bit extreme in colors...I guess this is my first time when I'm being so daring with the tones....hope it's just a phaze...! (5 years and 3732 days ago)

Wow, very nice mood... good job!
Not bad, but the light beams make it look like there are 3 different light sources...
Very nice idea and performance! This scene looks like at the sunset/semi night but the sky looks a little from a day time that was darkened, maybe you should work a little on that.
