You are getting really good at elements and placement! Fantastic.

I have to agree with *Bark and :devmayhas: this piece is really good but with the right technical improvements it would REALLY be a stellar piece.

The biggest things are blurring the lines around your figures and objects and I use 11% opacity for that, and a hard brush but everyone is different. The other thing is that the light source from the background image should be hitting the figure straight on instead of the light looking as if it's bouncing off the subject's back.

filter>render>lighting and position the light where it would be coming from in the background ONTO your figure in the same manner and that should do it.

Also, the tone of the guy is really a cool tone and the rest of the image is warm, so perhaps a warmer photo filter would do the trick for that.

Very nice piece all in all

Hi dear, it is so strong and emotional piece I'd like to share something with you, when you finish removing all the wanted pieces from the image ( the man) go to the blur tool and set the opacity to 15 % then start moving your brush around the edge of the Man image and it will look as if he is already in the image.
