or you'll be cutting your ears off before you know it.
I'm far from perfect myself and often overlook so many basic things but when asked to look I tend to spot them afterwards. ( it all depends on current levels of jesus juice )
I think the real thing, the more I look at yours is the lighting. It's always best to pick your composition pieces from pictures taken with similar lighting. The rock has a light source above and right. There is an obvious light source to the rear which is casting no shadow and the model has a light source front and left. It's accepted in a studio but for an 'outdoor' scene, well, you got your lanterns all over the place fella ;)
quickest way around things is transform all your pieces on the horizontal before you start so that they all have the light source coming from one general area.
Or ignore me, because I'm not nearly proficient enough with photoshop ( being self taught via the internet ) to lecture anyone.
