Description I used several photos to create this one, I hope you perceive it as realistic looking. It was so fun to create this, it was kinda like arranging new furniture in a room!

Thanks so much for the stock:

It's nicely done, you can't see that she is not actually there when the photograph was taken.
It takes an artist to photoshop without noticing the photoshop, really that's the big trick.
(only one remark, not to critique just a hint: watch your shadows! if you had given the girl that, it would have been impossible to see that you had blended her in)

Nice work!

Oh- the dreaded shadows, I have to learn to do those! I thought about her shadow...then I thought, well, it's so overcast that perhaps there would be no shadow. All I know is I need to pay closer attention to that!

tip2: copy the girl, low oppacity, blending mode (multiply or darken or something, transform end tataaaa)

Yes- BUT, what gets me is how do you know if a short shadow or a long shadow is appropriate if the photo doesn't show where the sun is exactly. And what about the exact angle...I guess I would have to just guess. There's a Science to shadows...and I am bad at Science!!!

you know for once i m unable to tell if a pic was photoshopped, very seamless work here , i cant even tell the various elements, the mood of the pic is alluring, but i will sound creepy now because it has the feeling that someone is chasing her ( i think i have watched too many movies ) great work
