Step 2.

Use Unsharp Mask tools to more sharpen your photo, if your photo not to sharp.
In this photo, i used the amount 100 and radius 1px

Step 3.

Create duplicate layer from background and rename as cloud, then use filter-render-clouds to create smoke effect to the photo

Step 4.
Coloring the smoke with yellow to give warm effect to the smoke, I used color balance on image adjustment on this step

Step 6.
Use your creativity in deleting some smoke area on your photo
