7. Return blending mode to Normal.

8. Staying in the layer mask use Image > Adjustment > Auto Levels (or Shift + Ctrl + L) on the mask to intensify the contrast. The too bright and unnaturally looking areas of the top layer are now subdued.

9. Duplicate the Background layer again, bring it to the top, and going to Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation increase Saturation of the image.

10. Add layer mask to the just saturated layer at the top. It's time now to compare the two layers saturated in different way. Staying in the mask paint the parts you think look better in the Curves layer with the soft brash to reveal them.
