I decided to put little ducks on the tight wire instead of as a game down below. The rotate tool is used to set them on the wire at correct angle, and the edit/transform/flip horizontally tool is used to turn them to right.

Spotlights are added at bottom of canvas. Using Filter/render/lighting effects I used the spotlight with 5 lights up, Full intensity, and Focus of 90. This will darken background, however, it can be raised again with brightness/contrast tool.

Strongman hammer game is worked on now. The base and platform for hammer to hit have been given more of a 3D look by adding a top surface to them. Edges are roughened a little to look like they have been hit a lot. Lines are added on the post with a brush tool and the bell ringer is added and blurred with motion blur.

Hammer has been finished also with darker outside surface and burn tool used to give it more shape. Hitting surface of hammer is roughened with a scrub brush tool in a couple different brown shades.

Final adjustments are made to brightness and contrast. I did not merge all the elements at the end, so adjustments are just easier. I also check over everything for rough edges that need smoothed out.
