To increase the movement and atmosphere for the scene, make a new layer and change the foreground to #e3e6e5. Active the Brush Tool and press F5 to change its settings:

Paint many dots with various sizes around the knight and edges of the image.

Convert this layer to a Smart Object and go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur:

Apply a Gaussian Blur of 3.5 px:


Step 20
Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to make this effect more subtle.


Step 21
It’s time for coloring the scene. Make a Photo Filter adjustment layer on the top:


Step 22
Create a Selective Color adjustment layer and change the Reds values:

On this layer mask, use a soft black brush to erase most of the fire area:

Step 23
I used a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer to enhance the whole light and contrast:

On this layer mask, use a soft black brush to erase the parts you feel brighter than you expected:

Step 24
We’ll add more glowing light to the fire area. Create a new layer and use a soft brush with the color #fb6525 to paint on the indicated area and set the mode to Overlay 100%:

Step 25
On a new layer, use a soft brush with the color #e6802d to paint on the bottom right. Change this layer mode to Hard Light 100%:

Step 26
Create a new layer and press Cmd/Ctrl+G to make a group for it. Change this group mode to Color Dodge 100%. On this layer, use a hard brush with the color #ffd72b to paint some sparks around the fire.

Double click this layer, choose Outer Glow:


Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to reduce some dots opacity:
