Mark out and delete the unnecessary zones of the picture. Turn the picture horizontally: Edit ? Transform ? Flip Horizontal and correct its size (ctrl+t). Place the rest part near the jug's neck the statue holds in her hand. Create a mask out of this layer, applying the Gradient Tool and hide the unnecessary zones.
Apply the next command now: Layer ? Remove Layer Mask ? Apply and decolorize the layer, selecting the Channel Mixer.
Choose now the Brush Tool and download the brushes of twine plants shape (find them on this address: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26387707/?qo=30&q=by%3Afalln-brushes&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps) and place them above the door's aperture on a new layer, correcting the size and the placement's angle if that is necessary (ctrl+t).
Select the Gradient Tool now and apply it by darkening the upper part of the grouped plants' layer.
Insert on a new layer the picture of a maple leaf.
Mark out and erase the background of the leaf (because it is white, we use for this operation the Magic Wand Tool) and make several copies of the layer (ctrl+j), changing the size of the leaves (ctrl+g) and their distort level: Edit ? Transform ? Distort. Try to make a composition of these leaves placed by the statue's legs.
Insert each leaf's shadow, applying the next command: Layer ? Layer Style ? Drop Shadow.
Then merge down all the leaves' layers (ctrl+e).
Decolorize the new layer that we've got (Channel Mixer).
