Step 8

Select these layers and press Ctrl+G to make a group for them. Change the mode of this group to Screen 100%. Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer within this group to desaturate these layers:

There is an unwanted detail at the bottom of the image after flipping the landscape:

To fix it, make a new layer and pick a color similar to the background (I chose #bcbcbc). Paint on the indicated detail:

Step 10

Come back to the man layer. Select this layer and the clipped Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Right click and choose Duplicate Layers. Move them above all layers.

Step 11

Change this layer mode to Soft Light 100%:
exposure
Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to reduce the man’s opacity on the lower half:

Step 12

Make several layers and change the foreground to black. Use different bird brushes to paint randomly on these layers:

And We’re Done!
