Step 1

Start by creating a new document (canvas) with size of 1285 pixels wide and 1728 pixels high.

Step 2

Place the window image on the document. Take free transform tool (Ctrl+T). Scale the size of the image, arrange and position it where needed. Take a look at the screenshot given to know the position of the image in the document.

The window image will be a new layer in the document and it is a smart object layer. Now give this layer some Gaussian blur smart filter by going to filter > blur Gaussian blur with the value given below. There will be a white thumbnail below the smart object layer

We just want give the blur effect on the trees and leaves outside the window and hide the effect of blur for rest entire image. Select the thumbnail filter to be active on it. Take a very soft round brush (0 % hardness) and with black color, stroke the brush on wall and window, except the part with trees and leaves, to mask or hide the blur effect on them. the masked parts will be indicated by dark gray or black spot on the thumbnail.

Proceed to mask this gradient map layer on areas around the wall to hide the effect.

Then, give the scene the last adjustment layer : hue/saturation. Set this layer to normal blending at about 45% opacity. Mask a bit on areas around the wall. Select all the adjustment layers and hit Ctrl+G to group them into one folder. I named this folder adjustments.
