Step 35

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Curves again but apply this only on a few parts that need to be darken. Use the image below as reference.

---

Step 36

We will create a brush to add snow particles. Go to Window and select Brush. In the Brush Panel use the settings below:

---

Step 37

Use the brush created in the previous step and add some particles with lowered opacity to the icicles like in the image below.

---

Step 38

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Curves. Use the settings below.

---

Step 39

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Curves. Use the settings below.

---

Step 40

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Gradient map. We need this to change, just a bit the colors, to make them colder. Set the opacity to 33%.

---

Step 41

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Curves again, but this time apply it on the upper left corner, just to make it a bit darker.

---

Step 42

In this step we will make the city in the back look out of focus, to give the whole picture more depth, so go to Filters-Blur-Gaussian Blur (4-5%). Use this filter only on the city.

---

Step 43

On the top layer press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E to stamp the visible layers. Next go to Filters-Other-High Pass. Set the Layer’s Blending Mode to Hard Light and the opacity to 90%.

---

Step 44

Go to the Adjustment Layers-Photo Filter.

---

Step 45

Adjustment Layers-Hue/Saturation. Make the presets like you see in the image below.

---

Step 46

At this point our work is almost complete, we just need to add the text. Write the text with a simple font using white color and duplicate the layer. On the duplicated layer go to Filter-Blur-Motion blur and use the biggest distance. If you think this is too much you can use a smaller distance also.
