Ok, ok, I know that this isn't really working with lighting effects so to speak but it really did start out that way and I ended up with the image on the right & liked it so I'm posting it here. There were 6 layers used with different opacities & blend modes as shown below. I basically made a selection of each cloud section, flood filled with different colors, blurred, blended and opacitied away.

Liberty - Original Liberty - Enhanced
(1) I brought cloud image over to the Statue of Liberty image, used the deformation tool to adjust height/width. Used blend mode of Luminance & left opacity at 100%. I then used the erasure tool to clear the Statue of Libery & the buildings that I didn't want clouded over. (2) Above this layer I created a new layer & followed tutorial to create sun rays & used Overlay as the blend mode with opacity set at 50%. (3) Back down to my background layer, created a new layer, filled with black - set opacity to 60 with Hue as the blend mode.

Don't you dare laugh at my drawing (lol). Just so you know, the fish were made during one of Ron Laceys' Vector Tooning classes - excellent classes I might add - hint hint)
