This Free Tutorial has been made with Adobe CC but will work with Adobe CS3+ version as well.
SOOC image RAW, Canon 6D, Sigma 50mm Art Lens 1/400s, f/2.5
1.Our base with editing any picture is as always a Clean Edit & Quick Retouching. I'm not running any Artistic Actions here.
2. After the quick clean edit, I blended cloudy Sky Overlay from English Sky Overlays vol.4 pack.
You can find Free Sky Overlay Tutorial here.
3. I used Dodge/Burn tool to correct shadows and highlights and add some extra drama. The brown grass here looked very flat so this tool fixed it very quickly.
4. I added few Overlays from Flying Dreams II Photo Overlays pack. Each of them has been saved on a transparent background as PNG file so I simply drag and drop two overlays over a photo and mask off some part of them (over the face of the model). I used also Blur tool and Motion Blur on some parts of these overlays. To correct the shadows and I used Burn Tool once again.
5. Few Music notes brushes have been added. You can download these brushes Here

6. To give this photo more moody/matte look I played Free Matte Effect PS Action.
I reduced noise at the end ( Noise Reduction action from Annabella PS Action Pack).
