stock shot of mountains












vector steeple and some stock shots from the show


some trees (from render trees and turned black & white)

tonal effects - try to separate toning effects from color effects
also most people composite better in b & w, so add hue/sat adj layer,
turn off sat. and check shapes













color - try to keep color adjustments on top, in case you need to change them
   

red windows - little shape layers filled w color


more trees


black fill


texture and tone on multiply


paper texture on multiply blend mode

used smart filter to change saturation and contrast
