Color changes have been made to go back to blues, and figure and cross have been scaled smaller here. Cross is changed slightly in perspective using distort and perspective tools. Render/lighting effects/spotlight is used behind cross. More soft light is brushed in at base of cross and figure. Next, the birds are added, scaling them larger toward front, then smaller toward cross.
