As soon as the stone mason had finished the patio and walkways for our new/old (1876) farmhouse, my SIL started watching videos on YouTube and out popped two Adirondack-style chairs. What a guy!

The challenge to this design was getting the tonality of the framed photo (darker) to work with the washed out large photo, which I had blended into an artsy paper with overlay blend mode. I tried all my usual tricks and nothing worked until my last attempt—pulling in an artsy paper on top of the layer stack, blending it with a mode, then selectively removing areas that were too dark. Doing this yielded some nice bonus texture too.
To unify things, I duplicated the overhanging branch on screen blending mode, then moved it to the side so I'd have a bit of a branch cascade in light and dark.
