I love the overall circus atmosphere with you added in the background. It is a bit distracting to see the cut lines around the people and objects. I suggest closer cuts and then perhaps use Gaussian blur on the edges at 0.7%.

Thanks for the input!! I will definitely go back and try to blur the edges-

It's tricky and tedious. You need to select no more than 1 or 2 pixels to either side as you move along.
Also, there were places where the cuts were very obvious.
Good luck!

It is very tedious but after looking closer I noticed a lot of jagged edges. My biggest problem is that I work on something for so long that ,after awhile, I begin to get sloppy. To blur the edges do I make a selection, contract selection, inverse selection and then add gaussian blur? or is there an easier or more effective way? Thanks again for the advice. I can now go back to a lot of my projects and do that to make them look more realistic.

To my knowledge, the only way to do it is to outline the very thin boundary at the edges. Go to filter. Select Gaussian Blur. Set the blur to 0.07, which is my favorite, and do it. It requires patience. However, the rewards are great. Good luck!

Thanks again of the advice!! Although it still kinda looks like a photo collage, It definitely made it not as obvious. I just need to keep practicing and apply a lot of patience!!
