 First I cropped original image to get the portion I wanted. Then 45 deg rotation in lighten, copy, then horizontal flip in lighten. I erased portions of all layers as necessary to keep bats intact. Copied again but instead of rotating I moved the layer up until I had the overlap I liked; darker color mode. More erasing of parts of layers to keep bats totally visible. From there I applied some Color Efex Pro filters, then flaming pear flood (isn't blatant copying the highest form of flattery, jomari?), then more touching up, filters, levels, blah blah blah...

Oh this is the Pagoda with the reflecting pond in front of it. Only a magical prince or princess can figure out how to get inside. :) LOVE IT

Well, I 'borrowed' the flood filter idea from you, my dear!

Ahhh, the variations are starting to come through fast and fascinating.

I like your selective choices a lot.
