Hi there!
    Thanks for that reply =)...actually thats what I was initially trying. I was using different variations of cloud brushes on different layers with different oranges, ect. I just ended up messy. I had much better success with finding stock photos and manipulating the coloration.
 
I think I just need to take classes instead of trying to google/tutorial self teach myself Photoshop. Just seems to be the easier route to go. =)
