On the second I continue using this brush to paint on parts like on the first layer, remember to vary brush opacity to get more natural result:

Step 27

Create some new adjustment layers on the top to enhance color, saturation and increase the vibrance of the whole picture:

On Color Balance layer mask I use brush to reduce cyan on some parts below:

Step 28

There is a small detail we need to take care of. You may notice that we have a small stick on foreground. I don’t want to remove it with Clone Tool as I want to keep more details for this part. It needs a shadow! To do it I make a new layer within foreground group (above 1 and 2), use Pen Tool to make a line on the ground and stroke it with black brush, 1 px:

Apply Gaussian Blur with 1 px and blur the top of this shadow with layer mask:

    OMG!! What a humongous polar bear!

    Not bad for a tut but you need to learn perspective… unless you intentionally decided to make a dinosaur-sized polar bear.

      It’s intentional… ?

      A polar bear in that distance will be a 1 pixel dot.
