And get with a dark vignette partially texture. No need to clean up everything, just some of the places do not stand out so.

Step 49

Now change the texture contrast to make the background invisible, and circles a precise bright. Add an adjustment layer to a group. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast… or click on icon New Adjustment Layer and in list, select Brightness/Contras. In window that appears, set the following settings: Brightness: 63, Contrast 100.

Step 55

To help us make the colors bluer need to put the point the blue channel in the middle of the curve and move it slightly upwards. To make softer shade of blue, go to the red channel. A dot on the middle of the curve and move it quite a bit to the right and down.
